I have always been quiet, labeled as that and that's how everyone has known me my whole life. Into adulthood it hasn't gotten much better and I feel terrible everyday. I see everyone else able to socialize effortlessly while I'm borderline mute and talk pretty much only when necessary. I can't sleep at night, I worry what people think and my mind feels chaotic. People even ask me sometimes if I'm ok, that I look tired or under the weather. I just wish I could wake up one day and be normal
