[quote=Anonymous]I have a minor social anxiety. I don't like being in very large crowds of people for long, especially if they are all mostly strangers. I do have other general anxiety issues as well. I have found though that working with kids actually HELPS my anxiety symptoms, I have something else to focus on and doing things with them pushes everything else out of the way. You know when you are sitting somewhere doing nothing (like on a bus) and so your mind has time to wander and think random stuff? That is when my anxiety could start to happen, but with kids under my control, I never have that time to let my mind wander and get off focus. They ground me and while I find it awkward at times to meet new people for myself, I never have problems getting to know the other parents or nannies that I find myself running into on a weekly basis and setting up playdates for the kids. Kids really do change my life and make it better.[/quote]
