I have been trying to think of areas in my life I can make comics about while I write the stories for my other two big ones. I had a sudden realization….cognitive behavioral therapy. It’s no secret that I used to have severe social anxiety, and the way you fix a phobia is to do everything you don’t want to do (systematic desensitization). The way it works is actually pretty fascinating, imo, so maybe I’ll talk more about it later. This particular situation that I depicted in the comic is one of the more normal things that would happen in a regular session of therapy. I didn’t want to start out this series with the best stuff first. I hope no one feels like they shouldn’t laugh at me in these comics, because that is their purpose. I am having a horrible time in all of these situations that I will be retelling, but I couldn’t care less about the embarrassment I had to willfully inflict upon myself anymore. That’s how you know the systematic desensitization worked.
