One time, I stood in a place, the security

walked up to me and was like, "Why are standing here?"

And I'm like, "I'm just standing here."

He's like, "You're really nervous, what's wrong?

Are you armed, are you this?"

I had to actually explain to the security guard, the reason why

I'm standing here is because I'm going through therapy,

and one of the things I had to do for therapy was I had to go

come here, and stand here, and try to address my issue.

And I found, as awkward as that situation was

and how funny it is to tell people, that it worked.

It allowed me to go to a mall, it allowed me to

understand that if I was at some place that was crowded,

if I got there before the crowd built up, I could cope with it.
