I don’t know which sub forum to put this in so I decided to put it here.
I have severe anxiety and depression as well as paranoia and panic disorder and I have been attending an arts and crafts group for a while now. I am very good at art and design and I record my music and play the guitar and keyboards.
Anyway the other week, I completed a clay model that I have been working on for the past few weeks and a guy there liked my model so much that he wanted to take a photo of it. He asked for my permission but I started panicking and told him that I would rather he didn’t. He was fine with my reply and didn’t take a photo.
Just before the art session closed my support worker also showed admiration for my clay model and she wanted to take a photo too. I reacted the same way telling her I’d rather she didn’t but she told that the photo of the clay model would be anonymous as she would just tell ppl that the model was made by an anonymous person at the art group. Still I didn’t like the idea and I still refused her to take a photo.
In the end I felt bad refusing the guy and my support worker to take a photo but at the same time I don’t like people taking photos of my artwork. I have this paranoia and anxiety that they might claim the piece of artwork is there own which I find upsetting. Also I’m quite a private person.
Is my behaviour normal or do I have a problem?
