I got patronised so much at school by this group of girls saying "Aw, you're so quiet and sweet, why don't you ever talk? Are you just afraid of us?" and stuff like that and it was so awful because as much as I wanted to respond, I just couldn't because I couldn't bring myself too. It was actually horrible
I dont pretend to know what its like to be in anyones shoes. I did have a pretty tough jr high. I get a little anxious in social situations still to this day. I was never labled or diagnosed with social anxiety but i imagine i was there at some point. Eventually i simply decided that i didnt want to feel that way and started pretending it didnt matter. Eventually it wasnt a big deal at all. I guess what im recommending is that you dont make up your mind that you have anxiety and accept it. Because if you have any chance of overcoming it, you have to start with the decision that its possible.
But i think they changed it to 'A brilliant young mind'
