Conversation Anxiety

[ANXIETY26]

Does anyone else feels this way?

I was having a conversation with somebody yesterday and I found that half way through the conversation that I was becoming depersonalised?

It was something that I was'nt comfortable talking about and have been trying to avoid talking about for ages.

I too get that but I think that is because I am starting to become anxious about how long I'm speaking to someone or even that I need to get going but don't know how to end it! I usually find it's because when I'm speaking to someone my mind is wondering on other worries, then I can't hear them for my thoughts and I start to panic!

Sorry I don't have any solutions but just thought that I would let you know that someone else is the same.

yes I know exactly what you mean. I'm learning to just live in it till it
passes, because they don't see it, it's only in you. It cant kill you,
or drive you insane, so just tell it to sod off.Thats what I do. the more you do this the less it will happen. I think.


Hope this helps.

When my anxiety is high I get this. I think for me I sometimes feel trapped by not being able to get away from the conversation without looking rude.

Think we would all feel anxious if the conversation was on a topic we didn't want to talk about though - think that's the same for everyone.

"Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?" said Piglet.
"Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.

Yeah i get this too and think i must seem so rude but i just cant focus at all.
