Thank you for getting so vulnerable, KT. I do not have the history of abuse you do, and it sounds like your episodes are much more powerful than mine but I do suffer from social anxiety. It’s really interesting that I read this today because I was thinking earlier this afternoon that people who don’t have it in any form will never “get” it. They don’t understand the herculean effort it takes to even answer the phone (that’s a huge one for me). And one of the superpowers of writing about it is that you just made someone else feel a little bit better about their own situation (me). Thank you for that.
