On a more serious note, I do struggle with social anxiety. I've come to realize the worst part is attempting to fight it. Ironically, keeping that fight up drives other people to cut ties with me.
But if I stop and listen to this inner voice, I can learn to accept it: "I'm disliked and that's okay." It gives me the motivation to move on. I can focus on relationships that actually matter.

I'm going to make an embroidery patch of the owl beast (from The Owl House) to put on my bag. I find it works as a metaphor for anxiety, and it can be a reminder for me.
