Social anxiety 

I want so much to be better at connecting with people.

I *love* it when I successfully connect with other people. I cherish those moments so much.

But I have so much fear and overwhelm, it's like a static that constantly surrounds me and makes it hard to reach people.

These thoughts come up when I worry about my job. I'm afraid my client is going to fire me and this fear isn't unreasonable.

I gotta keep reminding myself that this mood is temporary. :/
