  3. When I was little I did ballet in a little hall with other little people.  It was just a little group of us.  But when I had to leave the other little people and join the big people in the big hall I cried and my mummy said I didn't have to do it anymore.  So I didn't. That was probably the early signs of my social anxiety ...
