    Standing up for yourself is probably not something you are used to do, hence the social anxiety. I´ve been there many years ago. Understanding that no matter how much effort you are putting into it, not every person on this planet will like you. And thats OKAY. You don´t love every person either. Know that if you tell somebody that you are not satisfied, it´s most likely they won´t go home crying all night. The first time you tell someone that you are not satisfied, you will probably feel like you have been very harsh and rude afterwards. I doubt the person even registered your complaint, because when you think you are raising hell, that is just not true. Being such a gentle person is great as long as you don´t forget about yourself. I wish you the best of luck on your journey. As I stated earlier I´ve been there too. Getting over social anxiety is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself.

    So true, I left a hairdresser that did my hair for over 12 years after she made me look a MESS. I have tons of hair also voluminous AF. I faced a "pixie" and a "Chanel" cut without issue, only saying it would grow (from the obvious helmets I got). She made something that my hair was in the middle of my back but looked hideous, like a bad mixture of Hagrid, early Hermione and a porcupine. Had to cut again, to my shoulder (started way below my waist) and live blowdrying (I hate heat near my hair, even while in freezing cold I didn't wash with warm water)

    Why is the book so thin though? I’m only 13 and it should be at least 450 pages long, and spaced out like a dictionary.
