Social Anxiety Essay

     My name is Arjun Agrawal. I am a 16 year old teenager in High School. I have received a lot of feedback stating that I have social anxiety and am scared to mingle with strangers. I will be taking three steps towards addressing this.

It takes away time from interacting with other people or playing outside.

     If a glass is filled halfway, is the glass half-full or half-empty? This is a commonly asked question to test a person's outlook. Although both choices are correct, each represents a different outlook. If they say it's half full then they are most likely a positive person. If they say it's half empty then they're most likely a negative person. Having a negative outlook on life can be pretty depressing. However, this is not permanent. It can be fixed. In order to have a positive attitude you must appreciate what you have. You can start out by cherishing nature, cherishing family, and cherishing knowledge.    The world is a beautiful place.
