I'm very sorry you have anxiety - it's a thing many of us are going through and is challenging to say the least. I hope you're doing well and have the support you need.
I wasn't trying to make an excuse for her, clearly Molly needs to practice at meeting people. We can train ourselves to be better at it. What I was doing was offering an explanation in hopes that maybe one person might learn that there are many personality types out there and not to assume that someone is going to be open to meeting a new person at the drop of a hat. To give people time to acclimate.
What other job allows for this? When "Molly" is in the parks, SO SORRY that she can't straddle the fence of being some random anon and also one of the more prominent vloggers. It'd be like walking into Walmart in uniform and then being like "Ugh, I don't work here!" whenever someone approached you. Hell, a more poignant example: it'd be like Mickey Mouse wandering Main Street but also trying to avoid people. That would be bleeping ridiculous. Would you stop and beg everyone to understand Mickey's feelings? Or would you be more like, "Damn, what are they paying that guy for?" duck Molly.
