Current Events > Anxiety is like a radar jam for reading a room

(+) Yeah! (+)

If you got it, you can't read the room and it kills your ability to get on the same page as anyone else. So you just throw vibes at people and try to see if anything sticks. Or you just shut down and take a knee until you leave.

I dunno, just a random stream of consciousness.

See, it just happened to me. I read the room wrong and made this topic.

I feel what youre saying dude

Was it strawberry jam?

You know how to beat this? Be on your own page and comfortable and confident enough to make other people want to be on your page.

Yes, you can have anxiety and be comfortable and confident.

Only if that jam was used as a lubricant for the type of jam Im talking about.

The best explanation I ever heard from someone who suffers from it bad is "the boss music is constantly playing but he never appears".

I have anxiety but not social anxiety. I do really well with groups of people.

Dead ass. I can do this most the time. But sometimes I still get dragged back into trying to anxiously please the room. Old habits die hard

I'm more so the opposite, Im barely ever anxious about my actual life anymore. Just stopped caring where I end up lol

It doesn't help that people's natural standing pattern in groups is a damn circle that people just sometimes refuse to expand to accommodate another person

Lol. Those groups that you walk into and try to innocently add your 2 cents, they just look at you like "why you talking to us?".

Anxiety fucking sucks. The anxiety I have turns my body into a giant vibrator set on high from head to toe that never goes away. Been like this for 8 months. Trying to find the right combination of long term meds to help, but not much success so far. It's progressively getting worse too. I was at my family's Christmas party and everyone was playing Jenga, but I avoided playing because I knew my hand would be shaking trying to play. I'm not sure how much longer I can go on like this.

Damn bro. That's how I get if I smoke too much. Only happened a couple times organically. Fuckin sucks so much ass. I thought I was dying the first few times it happened.

Thats how social anxiety is for sure.

My anxiety is just a constant stomach ache with random pains in my muscles. Just a constant feeling that something is wrong with me

I also have that >_>. But I'm not willing to say it's 100% anxiety. Unless my anxiety is so supressed that it's still there even when Im comfortable and hype. That shit comes at the most random times and isn't even companied by negative thinking or worry. At times I can genuine still laugh when feeling it. It's been 10 years so I kind of just grew use to it. Honestly no one else ever described it so close to how it feels. The random pains are far from an exaggeration, the most random shit ever. Which only makes sense that it would have to be the brain causing it. It's weird feeling like you're gonna die so many times you just lose psychological sensitivity to it.
