VERBAL COMMUNICATION IS AN ESSENSIAL PART OF HUMANITY
Speaking verbally is something that I’ve always found to be very difficult, both physically and emotionally. It just doesn’t come naturally to me and that causes me to feel very anxious whilst talking. The feeling I get isn’t social insecurity or shyness.

How emotionally connecting with animals can help reduce anxiety
I’ve frequently mentioned that I have a lot of difficulty with understanding the emotions of fellow humans, and I’ve briefly mentioned before that it tends to be slightly different for me when it comes to those of animals.

TALKING ABOUT MYSELF DOESN'T MEAN I'M NOT INTERESTED IN OTHER PEOPLE
In truth I find it very difficult to understand and interpret feelings and situations that I don’t see and feel for myself. It makes things more difficult given that I’m also unable to interpret facial expressions, body language and the countless number and layers of emotions.
TRAVELING AROUND THE WORLD OF MINCRAFT
From childhood Rebecca has enjoyed building worlds and villages with Lego, forts and dollhouses with action figures, as well as train-sets. Thus it didn’t take long for me to embrace the current explosion of digital sandbox games including Minecraft, Fortnite, Portal Knights, Pixark etc.
