there is nothing else happening here that i can watch (or read or be entertained by if ykwim) anyhoo if ur wondering, if u actually have social anxiety then u wouldn’t post this and ik it’s kinda silly and i usually wouldn’t do this but! hear me out
so i don’t have any other social media and currently everyone else around me is on some form of it and im feeling awkward so i pull out my phone so that i dont feel miserable and i start looking here. and now, there’s no more unread topics or anything so now i need smth to do. so what do i do? this was my best idea so now i look like someone who’s doing smth and not nothing yk? and like this is better cuz ik ppl can’t be mean on here and if they r ill js report them lollll not really but kinda. but ppl in person can be mean so ya
anyways if this makes zero sense that’s ok im js doing this so that i dont feel too awkward and weird and stuff. and its ok if no one sees this loll id be fine if ppl didn’t heheheh
anyways im done now if ur still here thx for listening (reading…?) to me yap but ya (yes i re-read and edited this many times before posting) -anna (also im so sorry if this is in the wrong place i’m not really sure where to put it)
literally me. im not allowed to have social media either its alwasy so awkward cuz like theres all those trends and stuff people talk about that i just dont know about and i hate when my friends have to explain stuff to me but thankfully they are nice about it and have patience but idk i always feel weird when people say something and i just dont know what they are talking about
I feel like i am the physical embodiment of social anxiety its me and i am it. Gets somewhat easier as you get older (in my experience at least)
But the whole sitting and poking around on your phone to look “busy” is a regualr thing for me too, and probably alot if not most other people . Your not alone!
honestly i can’t tell if i have social anxiety or not i’m a very introverted introvert who gets nervous in crowds and around people i don’t know, but i’ve never really had panic attacks (maybe only once or twice?), so sometimes i seriously think i have it, and other times i don’t :/
i had one today in the hallway, like theres was a huge group of people i was caught in the middle of, they were yelling and it was just too much for me i started panicking
i have to look like i’m doing smth cuz i remember one time i was just looking at my photos and someone saw and i basically js died i started texting myself after that until i found ribblr
Anxiety and panic attacks aren’t necessarily one and the same! Panic attacks typically come out of nowhere and dont always have a a rhyme or reason, while anxiety is usually caused by something situational or stress. All this to say if you get really nervous in social situations its most likely anxiety.
ikkk everyone talks abt smth and i have like zero clue about what it is and they call me uncultured, sheltered (cuz im homeschooled but i go to dance everyday so i see ppl) and living under a rock
YES my friends joke that i live under a rock, technically i said it first so im not too offended by it but yeah my friend drew a little square out and said my entire life could fit inside it
so now i look like someone who’s doing smth and not nothing yk? and like this is better cuz ik ppl can’t be mean on here and if they r ill js report them lollll not really but kinda. but ppl in person can be mean so ya
its me and i am it. Gets somewhat easier as you get older (in my experience at least)
. Your not alone!
i’ve never had a panic attack but ik that feeling of being so overwhelmed it’s really not fun
