Social anxiety isn’t “omg I hate people lol I wish I was sleeping and watching netflix!”
It’s “I want desperately to be able to hang out with people but I hate the feeling of sheer panic and fear I get around them so I don’t/ can’t and it eats away at me every day so I end up just staying home and say I’m sleeping or watching something”
please tell this to everyone at my school please
I want to be around people. I want it desperately. But I feel like a worthless stupid burden that people have to put up with I don’t want to subject them to dealing with me. And the logical side of my brain knows that’s stupid. But it doesn’t matter.
