*anxiety all over the place why did I do that*
This happens every time I say hi to someone I don't know yet. Every single time. And yet I keep doing it anyway.
@Wrothmonk Yeah. I need to get better at it though so I stop panicking and deleting messages to new people x.x I get really anxoius about meetin gpeople, and about how to I figure out how to Do Things and what their comfort zone is and getting across to them what my comfort zone is and aaa. anyway I don't think I am up to meeting people at the moment. Probably best to do that _after_ I take my midday anxiety medicine, not right before when the morning one is wearing off.
@Felthry I know, right? I keep hoping that continued attempts will desensitise me to it or something.
@Felthry I find that all that anxiety is worth it for the few times you really hit it off with somebody.
I'm not going to claim I know precisely how much anxiety it causes for you, but it might help to think of it that way.
