As my old therapist would say, “a broken mind can’t fix a broken mind.” I suffer from pretty intense social anxiety. It turns out I was comparing the way I felt to the way other people appeared, and felt like a failure for a long time.

It took talking through all that garbage and getting to the truth before I started getting healthy and whole.
