Surrounded by Monsters

Author's Note

    Dear Reader,

    This story came from my experience with social anxiety. I never saw people as anything else, but I was so afraid of interacting with them that they were essentially the monsters under my bed so to speak. It's a very personal story for me, so I hope people treat it with respect. It's not perfect but I'm proud of it. I hope that if any of you read the story and identify with the Girl, please find someone to talk to. More often than not just figuring out coping mechanisms for situations you struggle with is all you need, so just a certified therapist that is willing to listen and work with you can do so much. Try that, please, it would mean the world to me if it means that people suffer less in this world. 

    Thank you for reading.
