I love this...definitely sharing.
Couple more that could have been thrown in...
9. Just because I'm not smiling or laugh at a joke, doesn't mean I don't like you or am upset at you. Sometimes I am freaking out inside and trying to stay calm.

10. It's hard for me to make new friends because most people don't understand my condition.

9. I am not my anxiety
10. I don't have "attitude", I just don't know how to handle certain situations.

7' - trying to produce the outside self is really (really!) exhausting.

This is incredibly accurate. Thank you for voicing what it's like to live with anxiety. Your videos are so relatable and it's scary to put into words how we feel but it's great knowing we're not alone.

I have never known if this is just who i am or something what i get with my birth or what. Couple months ago i found the word "anxiety". This is totally me. I wish my friends knewn that i am not sad, i am just feel this way. But i can't tell because of me. because of it.

The first one hits close to home. Almost screwed up my current relationship because of it.

Thank you SO MUCH for this. All of this except number 3 describe me I can relate to all of these except for number 3.

You know this isn't too accurate actually luke ones with high functioning anxiety tend to not like slow response because we think worst possible thing had happened,
But like the going some place scenario that's true, like my dad's B-DAY us today and I'm absolute dreading having to go even though 3 weeks ago I really looked forwards to, it
