I used to be painfully shy. It was literally emotionally painful to be around people. Not only because of my traumatic past but because people scared me. People are unpredictable, even if I felt like I had them pegged. As a teen, I used to isolate myself in hopes that my own company would be enough to fulfill my needs. However, I learned within a few years it was not possible for me to be without social interaction.
So, I started to work on the “how” of this fear. It started with working on learning to love myself through Scripture. Once I started that never-ending journey, I learned that people should not be feared, nor should the demons that people carry. I learned and accepted that each person deals with their own demons, which often clash with those deemed weak. However, the weak are called strong in the eyes of God. My self-reliance and painfully shy ways dissipated with the strength of reading and believing what God said about me.
