I’m extremely out- going which has been taken for being brash or funny. The only anxiety as a child came from having the ped Endo lift my gown and show the surgery that was done to me off for all his residents and having to be in service to the residents as a teaching tool for CAH - It was anxiety provoking to service different male and female residents for genital exams and then have the Endo come in and perform the same exam while they watched all w/ parents approval. Never really felt close to other kids after going thru these check-ups to make sure everything was OK. It was fun to hang out w/ other kids at the pool but just didn’t connect. Never been anxious in crowds - great memories of baseball games and Thanskgiving parades. Pretty much like people and only felt dread going to the hospital to service the students. I’ve been in front of crowds,  the focus of two, or one stranger my whole life.

 Never had trouble being alone dancing alone as a kid or adult.

Anxiety from bills, career choice, not being listened to by medical people-

 

I will try new things- I did this tramponine/ bungee thing and it was fun.

Was never into giving speeches in school.

I that anxiety may come from the cortisones but also from lack of confidence and lack of trust.

I like to look for problems to a situation and how to make them better.

Being anxious sometimes is a positive thing because shows being cautious.
