I think it...Who didn't like Fudgey the Whale? <br /><br />I think it's really hard to tell from the outside who is a Baby 19 and who's not. People who I know casually are often surprised when I get to know them better and start talking about my anxiety. Also, it manifests in different ways for different people. I have no problems socializing or public speaking but those two things are often big triggers for anxious people. However, I find going on vacation stressful in some ways -- which sounds absolutely nuts, but it's true! Being in a foreign location definitely triggers something in my brain that it is not fun, but I go anyway because there are amazing places to visit and great experiences to be had. I just have developed coping mechanisms.Taronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931890597877028988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1327733828484879907.post-33964944865744808742010-08-12T19:33:34.612+01:002010-08-12T19:33:34.612+01:00I definitely don't remember that ice cream sto...I definitely don't remember that ice cream store incident. I don't even remember the trip, which sounds like something I would have liked to remember, I liked Carvel...mostly because of Fudgey the Whale. The other thing I don't remember is you being an anxious person! Not being one, particularly, I think I've always just assumed you did the things you did because you wanted to and never suspected you were fighting any internal anxious impulses. I know a Baby 19 now, and I appreciate your post since lately I've been feeling kind of fed up with the idea that life is somehow "harder" for her...I guess it might be?Monique Vasquezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15794390734498366884noreply@blogger.com
