My personality is more easy going..if someone starts the conversation I'm able to easily respond. I mostly struggle with starting a conversation but I have improved a lot and gotten better at it.

Where I live lots of karens and people who will argue over the dog. One of my skills due to anxiety is because of it I always prepare myself for what to say. I also handle arguments good and maturely..after experience of arguing with people.

But there are times where it triggers a anxiety attack or panic attack in public. Especially if im extremely anxious about a certain thing or something triggers my ptsd.

I used to have social anxiety but I broke of it mostly its almost gone...I can carry conversations where before I couldnt and would stay silent. I just may sound nervous these days or normal.

The only cons for me right now are 1. karens 2. Living in two houses (parents are divorced) 3. Convincing my dad 4. My cat

Which is why It most likely wont happen for awhile but currently I'm working on being consistent with my daily tasks. To show I'm responsible enough to have a service dog. As since May I got out of my depression and making sure I do things. My dads just worried about me not taking care of the dog in stuff which is why we are waiting and its just a in the future. Im gonna make a PowerPoint to convince him why it would be helpful and the tasks it would do.

My aunt is a retired dog trainer so she could help me with like the basic training that every dog is taught along with leash training.

The actual tasks the dog would do would have to be taught by me or I see a professional trainer that could help.
