Unexpected Advantages of Having Crippling Social Anxiety
1.Your houseplants are lush and verdant due to all the time you spend talking to them.
2. Have developed a relationship with Alexa that rivals Joaquin Phoenix’s romance in Her.

4. Have learned the following languages in your free time: Mandarin, C++, Klingon, and Medieval era whale song.
5. Keeping your gaze focused on the ground has netted you $2.50 in loose change and a designer pair of sunglasses (only slightly damaged).
6. Your ability to blend into the background lets you go unnoticed when the alien overlords descend and conquer the planet.
7. While others at the cocktail party are engaged in pointless small talk, you can fill your purse with shrimp.
8. You develop a reputation for requiring lots of alone time and therefore no one objects while you secretly study the aliens’ infrastructure and organizational hierarchy.
9. Can focus full attention on escalating your Twitter feud with Dionne Warwick.
10. In an opportune moment, you use your linguistic and coding skills to reprogram the alien weapons systems.
11. You’ve become so adept at striking power poses to prepare for social occasions that strangers mistake you for Gal Gadot.
12. Finished writing your passion project (a puppet musical based on the travails of the Real Housewives of Atlanta).
