Great pic. Don't know what to tell you except do the best you can and force yourself to get out there. I have social anxiety too so I know where you are coming from.

Hi Olivia! You are so valued as a person. Social anxiety hits people of all ages, races and genders. It takes time to work through the shyness; try talking with a counselor or pastor that you trust so you can work on your anxiety. If you are here in the US; try to make friends from the college that you are attending. Start small, ask a friend for coffee and take one day at a time. Pray for peace as you work through this.

Hi beautiful! Welcome! I am sooo glad to see you here. I know a bunch of people from different parts of Uganda and Ghana and Mali and I have heard the complete lack of mental health resources out there.

She grew up with the cultural stigmas of acting like everything is ok- and it’s tough.

I hope now that you recognize the anxiety/ you can find ways to work on it to make it manageable

Hi Olivia, It's nice to Welcome you here. You have a haunting beauty, with eyes

that look like there is a story behind them. Never let anyone tease you or put you

down about your social anxiety. A way to turn that around is to ask them about

them selves. Most people have a story they would like to share with others. Putting

the ball in their court, takes some of the pressure off you. Eventually, you will feel

more comfortable when in a social setting. I'm glad you are here with us. xx
