Y’all’s parents really just leave on vacation like that

[agriffiths]

‘Aw I’m always here to talk!’
Biggest lie everyone has told me,

[kaiyadiestler]

This is more about insecurity and self-doubt than anxiety. Anxiety is a whole different beast

[joesquivel]

This is definitely not anxiety, I deal with severe anxiety and it's nothing like this. Anxiety never leaves you alone no matter how hard you try to make it go away. It makes you overthink and fear every little thing. It stops you from having fun and doing normal everyday things. It is a very real and hard thing to live with, but I've been working on it and I have been doing better.❤

Okay... but my anxiety doesnt just stay home when I decide to leave the house...

[abdua]

This is a mix of anxiety, social anxiety, low self esteem and lack of confidence and most importantly a bigass house.

[kiwiana]

bless this comment section for recognizing the difference between anxiety and insecurity.

[katelinecarrasco]

I don’t even like to look at myself in the mirror or in photos being tooken of me. It ruins my day.

[thisusernamedoesntreallymatter]

My anxiety doesn't just tell me that I shouldn't do things! It just gives me random emotions suddenly without knowing why.

[creativedreaming]

The end is completely not realistic. You can never just ignore bad thoughts or worrying what everybody else thinks. It's not that easy.

[awesomesauce]

This is definitely insecurity, not anxiety. While insecurity sucks, they're two different things.

If you have social anxiety clap your hands 👏 👏

if you have social anxiety clap your hands 👏 👏

If you have social anxiety and you don’t want to see society clap your hands 👏 👏

[lettucebaked]

Everywhere I go I feel like people are just staring at me and judging me. I’m scared to do almost everything because I have having the thought of everyone looking at me all the time and judging me

[patriaciasmith]

Anxiety happens when you think you have to figure out everything all at once. Breathe.You're strong. You got this . Take it day by day.

[createandevolve]

Be proud of yourself.
You went through every type of pain, family issues, trust issues, heartbreak, insecurities, depression, etc. You went through it all alone, but never gave up

[ChristianMaxwell-szbf]

I suffered the borderline disorder for over 23 years.
With so much anxiety Not until I came across psilocybin mushrooms treatmentPsilocybin treatment actually saved my life honestly. 6 years totally clean.
Never thought I would be saying this about mushrooms

[darkmind]

everyone that keeps saying:
“she have friends, why would she have anxiety or depression?”

anxiety and depression are not a feeling but a sickness

[sanity]

Me: poor girl has to stay home alone.
Also me: DAMMM THAT HOUSE THOO

[Ivyh]

I think I have social anxiety but this isn't really what I experience.
I can't just ignore it.
If I know I'm going out with my friends later, I will physically shake and get butterflies in my tummy.
I don't hate myself but there's always a little voice saying "your friends don't like you, they think you're weird, they don't want you there" and the worst part is that I know it's irrational, but there's still part of me saying "but what if it's not?"

[BushraJarallah]

as someone who lived with anxiety my whole life .. I find anxiety much more complicated than this .. but i survived in the age of 25, or at least learned how to control it
