I’ve written extensively about my past experiences with social anxiety. Some of the top posts are:

• My Experience Taking Antidepressants for Social Anxiety
• The Evolutionary Advantage of Shyness and Social Anxiety
• What is Social Anxiety Disorder?
• Is Exposure a Cure for Social Anxiety?
• Introversion vs. Social Anxiety
• The Link Between Anxiety and Intelligence: Imagination
• Overthinking is NOT the Problem
• Exercise Anxiety Through Art
• How Meditation Works
• The Power of Journaling

I also have an on-going series where I examine the portrayal of social anxiety in media.
