Take Charge of Your Life – Be Assertive!

You and I likely communicate with others every single day. Whether you’re talking to your family member, a coworker, or a salesperson, what you say and how you say it affect you and the person you are communicating with. An interaction can leave you feeling empty and angry, or empowered and understood.

Overcoming Social Anxiety was HARD, but it changed my life…

Hi fellow social anxiety fighters! I’m Heidi. I’m 24 and I live in Milwaukee. I’ve dealt with social anxiety my entire life. I can’t remember a time when I didn’t feel nervous about something. My anxiety has focused around food mostly; whether people were monitoring what I was eating, whether people would judge me for what I ordered, whether something would be too expensive, you get the idea.

More Celebrities with Social Anxiety

One of the most important things to hear when we suffer from something painful like social anxiety is "me too." Just knowing that someone else can relate to our feelings and our experience is immensely reassuring. So it's sometimes helpful to point to others in the public eye who have experienced social anxiety as well.
