About this listen

Look around you at all the people connecting and socializing. And you are just standing here alone, like a social reject, again. Nobody likes you. Why would they want someone like you around?

For years, social anxiety whispered its way into Natasha Daniels' mind and quietly sabotaged her life. Even while working as a therapist, helping children to cope with their own anxiety, insecurity lurked in the shadows pointing out the stares, the rejection, the vicious comments from online strangers.

In this memoir, Natasha takes on the therapist's role with her past selves to drag her social anxiety into the open. From feisty Miss 6, lonely Miss 14 reeling from a tumultuous childhood, and defiant Miss 18 pushing back against a world where she didn't fit, through to her present self, Natasha explores the way social anxiety colored her experiences and finds healing through self-acceptance.

Fantastic blend of information and drama

I enjoyed Natasha's story and the creative way she jumped from present day to the timeline of her past. It made the plot intriguing and I was unable to put the book down/stop listening!! But the great part is that not only did I get enjoyment and entertainment . . . I learned SO MUCH about social anxiety that I hadn't understood before. By sharing her inner voice, Natasha allowed her readers incredibly deep insight into how social anxiety works on a day-to-day basis. She also teaches us clear and effective ways to deal with it in our own lives and the lives of our children and loved ones.
