Hey everyone!

Since the original organizer stepped down I've been debating what to do about this group. I think it's a really great group and I'd hate to see it go away so I've decided to step up and take over.

As the new Organizer I've decided to change things up a bit. I'm now calling the group the Arizona Shyness Busters. We'll still cover social anxiety as well but I liked the name. Plus I'm hoping this group inspires others. Who knows, there may be Shyness Busters popping up all over the country before long. Let's get this ball rolling!

Just a little about me. My name is Jeff (aka Blue Eyed Devil). I love photography and motorcycles and movies. Some people ask me why I'm in this group because they don't see me as shy. Well, I am, and I suffer from social anxiety. However both were MUCH worse in the past. There were times I couldn't leave my house except for work or to get food or stuff. I've come a long way since then and if I can do it anyone can! In this group we'll support each other as we learn ways to overcome our shyness and social anxiety.

By joining this group you're taking the first step towards defeating the fears that keep you from doing the things you want to do. The next step however is even more important although it may be difficult at first. The next step is to actually attend some of our events! Whatever you have to do to get yourself to come to an event, do it and you won't be disappointed. You CAN beat shyness and social anxiety. We're here to help!
