I don't know what's the matter with me. I get so anxious whenever I meet someone.

I wasn't always like that. There was a time when I was very happy and loved to socialise with people. But that all changed when I was eleven years old.

My parents gave me up for adoption. I was upset and terrified. It wasn't long before I was taken in by a foster family.

My foster parents were horrible to me. I was beaten, humiliated, and forced to do the housework. If it wasn't for my foster sister, Alyssa, I think that I wouldn't have survived.

I suffered like that for four years until I was rescued by a group of ninja who would become my friends. But the mental scars stayed with me.

Now when I meet someone new, I become uncomfortably shy and look at the ground. I have tried to overcome this problem, but it is no use.
