Hey everypony, i would just like to talk about something that i noticed is a big part in the brony community. Several people, myself included in this, who have a hard time dealing with social situations, have found a sort of peace and an outlet for stepping out of there shell through this community and the show My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. Many people dealing with Autism, Social Anxiety, or just very shy and nervous around people. The list goes on for miles really.
If you just do a quick Google search for how i became a brony, you will find dozens of testimonies of people saying things like, i never really hung out with people before until i find this fandom, or i never really had much in the way of friends before i became a brony. The pure fact that this show and community has helped so many people with social problems in so many ways, just goes to show how amazing it is.
Many people dealing with this would rather spend most of their day holed up indoors by themselves. However thanks to this community, many of them are now stepping out of their comfort zones to go to brony meetup's and parties. Some starting ones on their own. This influence which is world wide, could very well be the beginning of the cure for things like Autism and Social Anxiety Disorder.
So being of this Social Phobia genre myself, and a brony, i thought i would put out something of my own to help other people with there social phobia while enjoying the wonderful world of ponies. Thus forth Canterlot Weekly will be putting out tips for those with Social Phobias to help them in awkward social situations. I am also willing to accept some from others if they wish to share.
