This is a letter to the Seville Apartment Manager who was over there at Seville Apartments in 2012. I will not say anything negative. This is my apology and about Selective Mutism. It was inspired by a Facebook post I wrote. How was it inspired by a Facebook post I wrote? I am not sure. But anyway, I wrote this up even though manager of the apartment complex is not working there anymore. She decided to travel the world. Good for her! She needed it! She deserved it!
To Marcy:
I'm sorry how I acted over there at Seville Apartments. The other tenants were overwhelming me with anxiety. I was so anxious enough as it is. One old man tried to hit on me over there. I tried to get away and avoid him. I didn't mind if he wanted to be friends but that's all. I was not able to tell him about my Selective Mutism otherwise, I would have told him. If people were to treat me as if I were normal, this is what would happen: I would shut down in all social situations and the anxiety would be so severe I would not be able to speak even to the people I can speak to. Which sort of happened over there at Seville Apartments. The anxiety worsened and I didn't know about depression but that also worsened. Selective Mutism usually starts in early childhood and if left untreated, it can persist into adulthood. It can leave negative effects like depression or worsened anxiety.
For those that don't understand fully. I will get you to understand. Because if you treat me as normally as possible, I will shut down in all situations and it will progress into progressive mutism even to those to who I can speak to. This is how bad Selective Mutism is. I really do not want that happening. So please make me feel as comfortable as possible.
