Not anymore.

Let me tell you a secret about social anxiety. It's not the big crowds, strange environments and forced conversations that really tear you apart long term. It's the positive thoughts that will remain ever captive in your head. There are few feelings more tragic than holding onto something beautiful that you're incapable of giving away. When someone inspires you, you will appreciate it so much more than an average person does. The fog covering your mind will temporarily lift, allowing the most incredible words, sensations, and emotions to flourish. But such beauty will rarely pass your pursed lips. In a world running short on self confidence, your brain will be awash with words that could change lives, and there they will remain. Ever confined.
