Now that I know who the people who take care of me the most are, I’ll start to be shy or even afraid of new people. This can be a little frustrating, especially when I’m adjusting to a person who cares about me who I haven’t seen very often, or when someone new is helping take care of me. Give me lots of time and patience to get used to the new people I meet in my life, and don’t force me to be around people until I can be comfortable with them. Make sure to spend time with me while I meet a new person – when I see that you trust them, it helps me to trust them too.
