The trick about weird is to know and understand that we are ALL weird in one way or another. :)

But I'm so glad you liked this article! I find so often with communication that, when something is not "our way," we really don't even notice or understand a different way. When my husband worries, he doesn't get super cranky, like I do, so he never understood that's just the way my worry reveals itself. Once I finally told him that, he gets it, and that understanding has made our lives much more harmonious together.

I wish you luck with your social anxiety, I have it too. Please know maybe you don't have anything to be anxious about--you expressed yourself well in this comment and I'm sure you do elsewhere as well.
