Seriously, you cannot "break" someone of their shyness. It's perfectly fine and totally awesome if someone asks you to help them overcome an obstacle and you are able to, but don't drag someone out on the dance floor or force them into a conversation to help break them of being shy. It's super rude.
I began the webcomic series Pretty, Pretty Ugly as a way to cope with social anxiety disorder. Anxiety has always been a part of my life, and at times it has held me back and frustrated me. But through comics, I found a way to turn my frustration into communication. Pretty, Pretty Ugly is about seeing the humor in awkward moments, and letting go of expectations of what a “normal” person should be like. Learning to laugh through embarrassing moments has changed my life for the better, and I hope to make everyone else laugh/cringe with me!
