Content: "Be careful with people who have social anxiety.  Let me explain.  They overthink everything before they even walk in the room.  Sorry for being awkward is their way of saying,  I'm trying my best to stay present.  Silence doesn't mean they're rude.  It means they calculate a hundred different ways to say hi.  They might cancel plans last minute,  not because they don't want to see you,  but because they nerves want to fight that day.  Eye contact can feel like a battle.  Speaking up feels like a performance.  They rehearse conversations in their head  and still fumble when it's time to talk.  They're scared of being judged,  not because they're weak, but because they've been misunderstood before.  They prefer a deep connection,  not crowds. That quiet person might be full of gold once they feel safe.  Small talk can feel like climbing a mountain.  They're talking about real stuff.  That's their cup of tea. Social anxiety ain't about being antisocial.  It's about fighting invisible battles just to show up.  Once they warm up to you, it's like watching a flower bloom.  Full of insight, love,  jokes and positive energy.",
