Beyond Selidor

To my significantly younger self: you're not an introvert or a loner, you have anxiety. Get some counseling, get tested for ADHD, realize that making friends and being a friend is a skill and that listening and being kind are more important than being right all the time.

To my 12 years ago self: go ahead and volunteer for Obama, you will meet great people and discover a lot of stuff that you are good at. (Yesterday was my 4 year anniversary of the first time I volunteered for Clinton/Kaine and all of the reasons that I had given myself for not doing the same thing 8 years ago turned out to be nonsense!)
