Social anxiety is an expensive disability to have - it costs you oportunities as well as perspectives.

@drq As bad as it is, sometimes that's all that keeps you from making the wrong decisions and getting too close to the wrong people.

No, I am not paid by the social anxiety cult to shill it, I just wish we lived in a better world, where I wouldn't have to think about how I regret no more than about a half the decisions I didn't make because of anxiety.

It's all too easy to post hoc attribute all the correct precautions to one's own knowledge and intelligence, and all the incorrect ones to anxiety. Unfortunately, that's not how it works most of the time. As with most things, there is a subtle balance at play here, and that's what's really sad.
