Due to my BDD, I hate being seen by people.

This is tricky because, due to the nature of my work, I’m seen all day, every day.

I’m a receptionist at a large car dealership and it’s basically my job to be seen – greet and direct guests, take payments, etc.

My coworker and I joke that we work in a “fish bowl”.

There are always people around – whether it be coworkers, or guests sitting at tables working on purchasing a vehicle – People. Are. Everywhere.

My dear mother knows that I struggle with this greatly and dread work every day.

The other night, I expressed my concern for the work day and asked that she please pray for me.

The next morning, I received a text from her saying, “Hello, brave soul <3”.

Safe to say, I teared up. :’ )

I love all you brave souls. ❤
