Haha, I was only joking, I thought that would be easy to see!

Freaks...hmmm...!

I can quite easily refer to myself as one, but to generalise other people....VERY thin ice.

I'm sorry but how is anxiety a joke! I'm very open minded and have a good sense of humour but i don't find that very funny atall!

Sorry, but I would choose your words a bit more carefully.
For someone to refer to themselves as a freak is one thing, but to refer to others..... The fear of being or being seen as anything with a negative label, freak being amongst the many, would be awful for some.
I don't dismiss what your piece is about, I can see your objective, but to call everyone freaks is .....? what do you think really on receiving this feedback from people?

Hmm, well okay, maybe I have a different sense of humour and assumed others would see the funny side, but if not then obviously I was wrong and that's fine.

It was meant to be informal and jokey because I don't like making myself take my anxiety too seriously - to me that is letting it rule you. I don't think of myself as a "freak", and I'm sure noone on here does either about me or anyone else - but I do see how the joke should have referenced myself only and not everyone else. But hey, how do you know I meant you? :P

(I'M JOKING)

PS. it's changed now, thank you for your feedback :)

But hey, how do you know I meant you?
