S. A. D (social anxiety disorder) by Nobody: 11:38am On May 20, 2016 |
I am a 18 year-old sufferer of social anxiety disorder. I can't express myself. I have no control over my thoughts and feelings when around people. I think that everyone is monitoring me for a flaw in my appearance or attitude (or just about anything I can think of about myself). Whether it's my clothes, the way I walk; what I'm looking at; my facial expressions. I know logically that the possibility of every person I see looking out for those flaws are ridiculous; but in my mind, I can't help but get the feeling that they are. It causes me a lot of stress and insecurity.. School for me is a living nightmare. It's where I experience the most anxiety and emotional pain of my day. It's just a bunch of running away and hiding -- hoping people don't see you and make fun of you. I have this notion that everyone is against me and dislikes me as a human being -- even some of my nicest friends I'm suspicious of. I can't maintain conversation because I have this constant belief that he or she is looking out for anything about me to make fun of once I walk away. Even if there is one person walking by I panic just as much, yet trying to look the most casual I possibly can. But from one look at him I'm already convinced that he's being critical of me, so I try to look comfortable and "normal" anyway. |
