Hey,
Let me start with something nobody said to me when I was growing up:

It's not something to fix. It's not a phase you'll grow out of if you just "put yourself out there" enough. And it's definitely not evidence that something is wrong with you.

Real words from real people who opened one of our emails and felt a little less alone.
