“When you’ve had a life of overthinking, you have the same reaction time and time again. Shyness becomes habitual. When you’re put in an unfamiliar situation, all you want to do is retreat and hide by default. You watch but don’t participate. You listen but don’t respond. You read, but rarely comment. You take a photo, but you rarely post. You write, but you rarely publish. All of this is because your overthinking mind cannot stop thinking about how you will be perceived by the outside world.”
― Joel Annesley, Quiet Confidence: Breaking Up With Shyness

“Looking but not seeing is the hearing but not understanding of the eye.”

“Aimer quoi que et non parce que.”
― Flaubert Gustav Flaubert

“Don't dull the voice of your heart just to please your brain
As it swells into overthought and the desire to be right
Switch on the light of your inner lamp.
Listen to your heart so you can feel from your soul
Don’t discount your heart to make your logic fit.”
― Christine Evangelou, Rocks Into Roses: Life Lessons and Inspiration for Personal Growth
