I’ve wanted to post here for a really long time but every time I’d think of it there was always some nervousness and anxiety. (Even this post makes me hella uncomfortable loool and it’s ridiculous how tense I feel. So dumb lol). I just wanted to share that being socially anxious really is a thing.

It’s a rollercoaster actually. Meeting new people is always so daunting and just outright terrifying. I think I suck at making friends too so I’ve held on and will continue to hold onto the ones I have so dear to my heart. I’d rather be the quiet one in a group setting than talk…talking to people is scary😹. Social functions are actually quite draining like woooah I’ve been invited somewhere? Time to psyche up cause best believe I need days to mentally prepare myself😭🤣🤣. Like actually, isn’t that such a ridiculous way of living?😹

There’s so much I’ve wanted to share but honestly can not because my brain literally conjures up the worst possible opinions of others (In theory that shouldn’t matter, right?). Anyway, no one really cares the way I think people do so I might as well post whatever the hell i want, right? Imaginary audience syndrome looool

Cheers to my first step conquering this irrational fear ( loool, I mean this post) 🥂🥂

P.s it took more than 1.5 hours to post this. Ridiculous 🤣🤣 by @khxhli_we
