I am shattered. I did it, though. Despite a lot of anxiety and self-doubt, last night I got on a packed train, walked through busy streets and attended an event alone. I know this doesn't sound like much, but for me, it's huge. Normally, I would just avoid and make excuses. Find an escape route.

The longest journey begins with a single step.
Fighting anxiety is a thankless battle. You're essentially going to war against your own instincts.
Take the win.
You've earned it.
In time, it will be so awesome to feel unmoved by making a simple choice to just “do something”
(You won’t think about it as being/doing “alone” eventually).
I got myself worked up about being in a basement club with a few hundred people and I missed a good show.
Tonight I go with 10,000 people but it’s a bit more open.
Good for you to get out into the world.
