How about for once we have some support for socially anxious people who are also outgoing or extroverted?

Shout out to socially anxious people who talk too much and regret every word they say

Shout out to socially anxious people who have a habit of word vomiting because they’re nervous

Shout out to socially anxious people who plan out exactly what they’re going to say but get too excited and end up going overboard

Shout out to socially anxious people who get in fights and arguments but later feel ashamed for showing so much passion and scared that people with differing opinions will target them

Shout out to socially anxious people who try to listen and be a good friend, but they talk so much that no one acknowledges that they listen, too

Shout out to socially anxious people who boldly dance in front of people or wear what they want or express themselves, only to get overwhelmed and go hide later

Shout out to socially anxious people who have a constant war in their heads because they both love and hate being the center of attention

Shout out to socially anxious people who are well aware that their voice is really loud, thank you very much

Social anxiety isn’t limited to being shy and quiet. You can be a socially anxious person even if you’re loud and rambunctious. Anyone can have social anxiety; you don’t have to fit the ‘classic introvert’ profile to be valid.

I think I’m crying finally someone telling me I’m valid

this is so important ok like if you’re loud and silly a lot with people and they can’t believe you when you tell them you have social anxiety and you’re actually afraid to speak like that’s so invalidating so please understand socially anxious people can be all these things too

My new haircut! Need to part it on the other side for Mabel, though. Hm. 

Also, yes, I am fat. But that is probably okay.
