Quotes by Ellen Hendriksen  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“In truth, you gain confidence by doing things before you're ready, while you're still scared. Go through the motions and your confidence will catch up.' If you wait until you are ready to do the things that scare you because you feel like you aren't ready, you will never get around to doing them. We gain comfort and confidence through being uncomfortable.”
Ellen Hendriksen, How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety

“Ultimately, social anxiety is the fear that whatever we’re trying to hide will be revealed to everyone like a gust of wind sweeps away a bad toupee. We think there is something wrong with us and therefore try to conceal it.”
Ellen Hendriksen, How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety

“social anxiety is seeing our true self in a distorted way and believing the distortion to be the truth.”
Ellen Hendriksen, How to Be Yourself: Quiet Your Inner Critic and Rise Above Social Anxiety

message 1: by Roger

Roger Ellen,

Thanks for adding me to your goodreads list. We seem to read a few of the same books. Not only Jane Austen (worship, worship), but also Oliver Sacks, Susan Cane, S. Mukherje.

Because of your recommendation, I'm about to go to Audible.com to see if "Disappearing Spoon" is available as an audiobook.

By the way, is there anything I'm supposed to do as a result of joining your Goodreader group?

Best wishes,
Roger

P.S. I recommend reading everything Jane Austen ever wrote, including her juvenalia and especially Persuasion. Sense and Sensibility, and Emma.
