I've been thinking about what I should write in my first blog post; i mean, first impressions are important right?
I decided I'm gonna not gonna start my ranting just yet! A quick introduction would be nice.
My name is Ayana, I'm 16 and I'm from a relatively small (and relatively unknown) south asian country Bangladesh, so English is my second language. I'm a bookworm; I love reading, and writing too. Although this is my first venture into the world of online writing. I may not be that good, but bear with me! Pardon my mistakes if you can, or comment below! I would love to get to any kind of feedback or criticism.
I am a naturally quiet person, although I have my moments, but they're usually only around the few closest people in my life. My introverted nature makes me spend a lot of my time with my thoughts, away from reality.
I have avoidant personality disorder as well as social anxiety disorder as the name of my blog suggests. It means my fear of even typical social situations, like talking in a group or talking aloud in class, that others would find natural, makes me avoid them. Those who have social anxiety know how hard it is to cope, especially when there's no one to talk about it with.
I (or I guess we all) live in a society where the more outspoken and loud you are, people will like you more or give you more attention; or that's how I feel. At least here, where I live, quiet people are perceived as weird or rude.
Ok, I'll stop right there, I've started whining already! I'll try not to make my future posts this obnoxious.
Would love to read your thoughts in the comments!
