some of the ridiculous things which make me unreasonably anxious and nervous:

- Answering the phone

- Looking people in the eye

- Going to a shop counter to make a purchase

- Eating in front of people

- Looking in the mirror in a public place

- Entering a busy room alone

- Talking in front of people

- Public transport

- Having my photo taken

If I don’t talk to you, it doesn’t mean I don’t want to talk to you. It means talking to you causes me a lot of anxiety, and so I avoid the issue until it becomes awkward and causes me even more anxiety. It’s definitely not because I don’t like you.

The worst pain is not being able to escape from yourself.

“I’m totally an anxious mess all the time. There’s a constant dialogue going on in my brain, and it’s just reminding me of all the failures that I have had, and all of the things I need to do, and all of the things I’m not doing good enough”

—Aubrey Plaza
