Excellent, Rachel and thank you.... I'm the same as you, sometimes racked by immobilizing anxiety. Before this whole 'Shindig' I was pretty much a shut in, had difficulty in social situations, usually the guy in the corner, alone, sipping on his coke at parties.... Hell, it took forever to be able to post pics of myself... Of course that changed when I knew I would meet the Social Media savy Ms Cloves in Vegas (and her twittering/Instagramming/Vining/ etc... ), I knew I'd be in there somewhere, and it didn't turn out half bad
The 'cure' it seems, is to be around people who are positive, supportive and genuine. I discovered that on my trips to see Haley and meeting other fans of Haley excited to enjoy her music together, a whole other, positive community. "All of a sudden" (
) I found myself 'diving in', introducing myself, introducing others to each other, feeling at home with people I had just met.
We are in the same boat in that respect and have apparently found that the "Haley" experience has helped mend these wounds. She may not fully understand the many ways how seeing her positivity and outlook have lead the way for some of us to enjoy the life that was previously hidden from us before.
It is why I have such energy to try and bring this kind of inspiration to others through spreading the word about Haley
Stay strong and you will always have a friend here
