I followed internet advice for how to overcome my shyness and this one thing worked

''I can’t afford therapy so one of my favorite hobbies is perusing the net for advice on how to live my life. Last week I asked my best friend, the internet, how to flirtand this week I decided to address another big issue in my life:

Internet, how can I stop being so damn shy?

I was directed to a WikiHow page per usual. First, I needed to answer a few questions to find out if I was actually shy.

Are you timid but you wish you could speak out more?

Yes! I am the person who has never returned a plate of food in her entire life because I’m too scared to speak up! I won’t send back a rare steak that I asked to be cooked well done. I want the confidence to eat the steak I deserve in the world! Unclear if that’s what this is referring to but I got into a weird dinner debacle last night I’m still thinking about...''
