9pm Weds 24th Jan, BBC One Wales: Rhod Gilbert Stand's Up to Shyness.

The person who has inspired me the most is @TheBloggess by making me realise anxiety isn't a life sentence

Day 20) One of the hardest things I’ve done was: To stand up in class at school and read my essay out loud #31ThingsAboutSM #SelectvieMutism

Day 19) The nicest thing someone did for me was: To just be there for me. To tell me it's going to be ok

Day 17) It’s difficult when people: Dismiss me because I don't talk much, or don't include me

Day 16) Want to know a secret? Sometimes I'm not okay. But that's okay (and totally normal)

Day 15) If I could have one day of feeling normal I would: Sing karaoke. Badly, and as loud as I could.
