   First, watch the anime called [**Wind Breaker**](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JKcwym8EpFo). I’m not joking, for the overall messaging in that show is this:

   “*No matter how alone one may have been all their lives, we all want a person or place to feel safe or comfortable in. Don’t be afraid to be your true self – even if that may come across as lame or uncool to others. For the true people are those who will accept you for who you are, not what you do or accomplish*. *So don’t be afraid to jump right in!*”

   Feel free to listen to the linked song by the way, if you want something to motivate you. Love it how that’s used as a protagonist’s theme song and soundtrack. And the lyrics – pure gold!

   But well, let’s just say that as someone who grew up with social anxiety as a kid, and had my own share of mental health issues – I wish I had to this to watch as a kid. Because even as a kid, growing up for the longest time I always felt that as if I had to act in a certain way in which society expected me to behave. It didn’t help either that my toxic family always went around comparing me to my “more successful family members” and etc, where at one point they were embarassed to talk about me to their friends. Hence as a result, whenever I tried meeting new people I always put myself on guard. Always focused on maintaining a public reputation/image/face and all that.

   After dropping all pretences and becoming more comfortable about talking about myself truthfully, I found that people I have now didn’t care about what my current life situation was (in that looking down at me sort of way). So after realizing that, I thought that I tensed myself for no reason all this time, thought about the worst case scenarios way too much – only to find out that I didn’t need to be afraid at all. If there are people that don’t accept you regardless, no matter how hard you try to come to an understanding with them – move on and find someone else. But the moment you truly shut the doors to people is when you end up closing the doors to finding a place to truly belong.

   We all have fears and pathetic sides – it’s a natural and normal to feel that way. The key here is to how to manage that fear or anxiety so that it doesn’t overwhelm you.
