social anxiety
sometimes i don't ask to pet a dog because i am worried the owner will want to talk to me more
and then i feel bad that i want to pet the dog but ignore the owner
and then, and then, and then
social anxiety
@bentosmile i understand this but it doesn't stop my brain from shortcircuiting >_<
social anxiety
@bentosmile that's probably true but i'd also be like "i know and like this person from mastodon it's ok" and wouldn't feel that anxiety at all :|
