Social anxiety is the fear of being judged in a negative way by others, while shyness is a feeling of being awkward or tense around others.

Therefore, it makes sense that social anxiety has prehistoric roots, because of those roots and the amount of time it takes to evolve traits in humans, social anxiety, and shyness are an inherent part of our genetics.

The more you know about a person, the better you can conclude the best strategy for persuasion

When you light a candle, you also cast a shadow

I am terrified of this dark thing that sleeps in me;

All day, I feel its soft feathery turnings, its malignity

“To share your weakness is to make yourself vulnerable;

To make yourself vulnerable is to show your strength.”

our needs and desires are what make us vulnerable to these predators

It cannot be seen, cannot be felt, cannot be heard, cannot be smelt

It hides behind stars and under hills and empty holes it fills

It comes first and follows after. Ends life, kills laughter”
