My name is Edward Quivering. I’m surprised you managed to find me hidden in this corner or bargain bin. The bastards never gave me a chance. That Potter boy gets all the credit.
What has just happened to me in my life is that I reached the lowest point I can imagine—my mental health finally gave up—because of some of my bad habits and awful life choices. Do you feel anxious, overstressed? Do you honestly believe you can cope with anything, but at the same time, when you really stop and think about it, you cope by displacing feelings into other things, like drink, drugs, anger? Then have a read. This is the kick up the arse you need to get some goals, get off the sofa, and start functioning.
The title of the book is inspired by the fact that my anxiety happened most in the open world, where everyone’s Facebook, Tinder, and Twitter have to be perfect, ideal—the social norm, if you will. But how can we function in the real world? In this book, I ignore those inputs on our society and talk to you as you, as an equal, just two people sharing a beverage, having a chat.
