Nice smiles, kindness, introverts, misunderstood people.

Rudeness. People who manipulate/use others.

I am someone who suffers from SA and have difficulty getting out and doing things most 'normal' people do. I find it difficult to leave my home, avoid my neighbors and generally stay in unless I have to go out.

I do believe I've gotten better over the years and have decided to improve more. At this point, I don't think I'll ever have a 'normal' life but I can strive to accept who I am and enjoy my existence. I don't feel I've been honest with the people in my life about my condition and but would like to be more honest in the future.
