social anxiety 

I'm bad at being queer because I'm afraid of making people uncomfortable by existing as myself and I'm bad at being around people who are more comfortable expressing themselves because I'm too afraid that other people are secretly uncomfortable and not saying anything.

My social anxiety is perfectly happy to invent problems in the absence of problems. I should get out of this habit.

I know these feelings well... I function far better when I'm not actually around other people.
