When I found out that my friend's birthday was going to be at a lake, I was terrified of people knowing I'm not good in water. But I also believed a lie.
While out with my friends at a bar, I got anxious because I believed people thought I was weird. But instead of chasing approval, we can do something else to fight social anxiety.
After I gave up the thing I wanted most, I realized what really drives my emotions and how to overcome them. Now I want to help others live fulfilled too.
