Don't blush. Don't tremble. Don't be afraid. We try and try, but we just don't get it right. The last thing a socially anxious person needs is more rules. The rules were designed by God for a purpose. Not to measure our own perfection, but to illuminate God's perfection.

We don't need to change or work harder. We only need one thing... Grace Chapter 1: My Pitiful Story Chapter 2: What is Social Anxiety?
