Just so it

EXACTLY.

But what if I have severe social anxiety and even calling my family sets an attack. I prefer texting but sometimes even that's too much

But it's not that simple. Life isn't cut and dry or black and white. There are many, many subtle shades of nuance.

Sometimes you just can't come out the gate strong. You HAVE to play it slow and sly.

Sometimes you just can't at all, ever. No matter what you feel or how strongly you do. They might seem to be the greatest person ever in the world for you... but they just don't feel the same. Even though it hurts like a knife in the heart, it's not their fault and there's nothing you can do about it.

If you're not carefull you just might drive them away entirely and that I think, is even more tragic.

Hate someone? Punch them right in the nose
