Hey, I'm mainly just thinking aloud here, but do feel free to chime in.
Right now I'm anxious. I'm at work. I'm forced to be here because society says I have to work to earn a living. I can't live without a wage. Bills, food, rent - these all require me to be here today.
But I don't want to be. The office where I work is quiet. But I would much prefer it to be quieter - ie nobody here at all. Ever.
I'm not anxious for fear of making a fool of myself. I'm not anxious from worrying about what people think of me today. I'm not anxious or worrying about people laughing at me.
I am anxious because I am having to 'see' and 'talk' to people when i really really don't want to. There is nothing more to it than that.
So having said that... Is there a difference between social awkwardness caused by anxiety and anxiety caused by social awkwardness? Is my anxiety making me way over think things right now? :sign20:
What do you do when you really don't want to be within 100ft of people on any given day?
