How about for once we have some support for socially anxious people who are also outgoing or extroverted?

Shout out to socially anxious people who talk too much and regret every word they say
Shout out to socially anxious people who have a habit of word vomiting because they’re nervous
Shout out to socially anxious people who plan out exactly what they’re going to say but get too excited and end up going overboard
Shout out to socially anxious people who get in fights and arguments but later feel ashamed for showing so much passion and scared that people with differing opinions will target them
Shout out to socially anxious people who try to listen and be a good friend, but they talk so much that no one acknowledges that they listen, too
Shout out to socially anxious people who boldly dance in front of people or wear what they want or express themselves, only to get overwhelmed and go hide later
Shout out to socially anxious people who have a constant war in their heads because they both love and hate being the center of attention
Shout out to socially anxious people who are well aware that their voice is really loud, thank you very much
Social anxiety isn’t limited to being shy and quiet. You can be a socially anxious person even if you’re loud and rambunctious. Anyone can have social anxiety; you don’t have to fit the ‘classic introvert’ profile to be valid.
