Social Anxiety in a Public Job
July 31st, 2006 by William Harryman
When I sent my resume to Bally Total Fitness in application for the job of fitness trainer, I never really expected them to call me. When they did call, I never really expected to get the job. When the interview went well and the audition went even better, I still didn’t even hope to work there. But they hired me, which meant that I would be working in a very busy commercial gym every day.
Getting this job was the culmination of eight years of really wanting to be a fitness trainer. And I was totally freaked out that it was happening.

For the first 20 or so years of my life, I was painfully shy–excruciatingly so. Hell, I peed my pants in class many, many times until early high school because I was too scared to ask permission to use the bathroom! I cried in class so often throughout grade school, middle school, and yes, even high school that I thought I’d never be socially “normal.”
