Interesting take TC.

However, have you done much research on social anxiety?

A lot of folks with social anxiety do not have the delusion that everyone else is observing or talking about them.
For a lot of folks with social anxiety, their triggers are the size of the space, the sounds, lighting and amount of people in the space etc.

Researched when i got suspicious, experienced, and saw it from my little cousin. My M.O. for a mental health screening was an autism diagnosis, but depression, and social anxiety was noted in the results too. Didn't see the former coming.

My social anxiety has nothing to do with what I think people think about me. I just genuinely don't like being around people or talking to people. That's all. I also have no reason to correct my anxiety. I just accept it as who I am. It's much easier to just be anti-social and isolate myself than otherwise. The world has nothing to offer me. I am happy alone in my room.

...ever played "The world ends with you"? The main character neku has some of the same mentality.

Also, I hope tc isn't confusing antisocial behavior with social anxiety.

I have that general reluctance to engage with people being a recluse, and have anxiety at the idea of adulting around people in public too. Just...never so bad when i get it over with.
