I also have social anxiety and difficulty looking people in the eyes, this being the main reason why I stayed away from public places like the gym and even from going out, it makes me not feel like myself. I just went to the gym and literally sat outside in the cold for like 40 minutes before I gathered enough courage to go inside , then shaking and trembling continuously, I spoke to the girl at the counter and programmed a personal training session today in about 7 hours. It was HARD, I was anxious and I felt like a stupid kid, like my knees and my mind would give up on me. But I knew that if I don't take this step I would never have a normal and happy life and I would never be happy with myself so I said "fuck it" and gone inside and arranged today's session. Here starts my adventure and journey to recreate my life. Thanks to you and everyone else for your very valuable support.
