Were you awkward like me?

I wonder – what was your earliest experience of social awkwardness?

One of mine was at preschool, aged three. Every day I would play with a girl called Ruth, and I was very happy playing with my one friend.

Until that dreaded day when everything changed!

Are you trying to “fake it ’til you make it”?

If you’ve ever been told to “fake it ’til you make it” as a strategy for overcoming shyness, you’re not alone. This common piece of advice suggests that by pretending to be outgoing and confident, you’ll eventually become just that.

What message are you giving?

Do you see yourself as shy?

Do you struggle to understand how life works; the way other people seem to?

As you walk along the street, do you wish you weren’t always stepping out of the way?

Well, if you said yes to any of those then this is for you.
