To the person unironically wearing the primary red beret in the Starbucks and chatting up anyone who will look at their unironic primary red beret for longer than a fraction of a second, I didn't realize I had social anxiety until you made me realize that if you decided to start talking to me I might run through the window to get away.
So, in a way, I am grateful for you and your unironic primary red beret for teaching me something about myself.
