Contributor(s):Author: Tobias J. Atkins Foreword by: Jesse Krieger Do you feel uncomfortable in public and can't ever seem to relax around people? Are you tired of that critical voice inside your head that's always putting you down? Have you tried to overcome your social anxiety & shyness before and nothing worked? Do you believe you're 'beyond help' or 'born this way' and things will never change?

Instead of being the best, those were the most unhappy years of my life. In public I felt nervous and awkward ALL THE TIME. I couldn't go to shopping malls or social gatherings without feeling like I was naked and on display. I couldn't even talk to old friends and my own family without getting nervous around them For years I didn't tell anyone about this and suffered in silence. I felt lonely, depressed and ashamed about this 'disorder' that no matter how hard I tried, just wouldn't seem to go away. I was confused and upset as to why this was happening to me. I know how it feels to live with social anxiety 24/7, 365 days a year. The suffering, the shame, the lack of understanding from family and friends. The feeling that no-one really understands what you're going through. I understand. This is why I can help. I truly believed I was 'born shy' and would have social anxiety for life.

This book documents my entire journey through social anxiety; the factors that caused it and the exact steps I took to find my healing and regain control of my life.
