Having social anxiety is like driving between two semi-trucks on the highway, except the moment you do that, they immediately match your speed and don’t let you pass.
I’ve had friends drop me off at places where i don’t live, because i didn’t want to trouble them anymore than i have
People have gotten my name wrong when ordering food or like anybody at all and I don’t correct them so they think my name Alice when it’s actually Allison
I’ve decided to sit in the car during social events so I won’t have to interact with anyone, but I still got weird stares from people walking by, so I would lean my seat all the way back so no one could see me.
said i had to go somewhere then walked five miles to my house
Stared down someone who was trying to talk to me. QwQ
Ordered food through the drive thru and then sat in my car in the parking lot to eat
Ordered like 20 dollars of food in a drive through, paid for it, was asked to pull up past the window and park so they could bring it out to me when it was done, panicked because I didn’t know where exactly they wanted me to park, drove away and went home
i picked up a 90~100 kg goods trolley bc i didn’t want to inconvenience the person asking if i needed help. i’ve also accidentally ordered 20 chicken nuggets instead of 10, had the name ERI for a drink order, and gotten $2 cashout instead of $10. send help.
I do that thing where I open my mouth to say something, close it, and repeat until the conversation is over because I don’t want to seem loud or rude.
One time I crawled under tables all the way to the exit on a social event just because it was too much, there were like a dozen tables,younger children started to mimick me,and parents weren’t happy
“Human relationships are strange. I mean, you are with one person a while, eating and sleeping and living with them, loving them, talking to them, going places together, and then it stops.”
