"i dunno, i don't think i have social anxiety or anything, i'm just awkward. like, i can do public speaking with no problem so long as i have a script, it's just that certain weird things make me nervous. it's fine, i just make it sound worse than it is when talking to my therapists." <=guy whose gut feelings are frequently convinced that basically everyone wants to beat him with hammers

#eliot posts #my mental issues just tend to manifest Weirdly lol #some things that make me socially anxious:#asking for things #approaching/talking to people individually when i previously only knew them in group settings #approaching ppl in general if i don't have a specific social script #talking one on one to much older adults #joining new groups of people where they know each other but i don't know all of them #also when ppl reference inside jokes to each other that im not in on i think they hate me and are leaving me out on purpose. bc they hate m #the middle stage between ''polite small talk acquaintances'' and ''actual close friends'' is both difficult and confusing AND scary #things that don't make me socially anxious that make most socially anxious ppl anxious:#public speaking #ordering food #making small talk when expected to #going places alone #so i'm totally mentally healthy see :)
