      From Shy to Facebook Live! The Journey of David Daniels and the Shyman - David Daniels

      CHAPTER 1 - THE STRUGGLE

      Gentle words are a tree of life; a deceitful tongue crushes the spirit.

      This is quoted from the book of Proverbs in the Bible (Proverbs chapter 15, verse 4 of the New Living Translation). The book of Proverbs was written by the wisest man ever to have lived, King Solomon. It speaks about the power that words can have on us. But let me ask you this, what does life look like when the words other people say about you dominate your life?

      David was assessed on the Stanford Sinet intelligence scale and the Griffiths mental development scales. His results suggest that he is functioning at the lower end of the average range of intelligence with a weakness in language. When observed at school David played creatively and constructively but used little or no speech in interactions with peers or adults.

      This was written about me by an Educational Psychologist when I was aged 3 for my statement of special educational needs.

      Life was an internal battle for me, dealing with an external world. I lacked confidence in myself, didn’t like the way I looked, and didn’t know who I was or what I was here for. Shyness crippled me. Literally, if I saw someone I knew on the street but wasn’t comfortable talking to them, I would cross over to the other side of the street to avoid them. I was desperate to be liked and accepted by others. And as for girls? Some of you may be familiar with the book, Men are from Mars and women are from Venus (written by John Gray). As far as I was concerned, women were from a completely different galaxy!

      My life was one of fear and insecurity which others picked up on. As a result I was bullied at primary school. There were these two boys in my class who picked on me. One in particular decided to call me David doo doo. I would be hurting and suffering on the inside, but one day my feelings reached tipping point and I
