Ive gotten stuck in the everyone barely tolerates me cycle. It begins with me being me and thinking that no one has a good reason to like me and is instead too nice to tell me to fuck off. Not constantly but I do have these moments.
Someone who usually responds to text doesn't respond or an online friend doesnt talk to me for a period of time. Logic side of brain says they could be busy or saw the text but got distracted and as such forgot. Anxiety brain says they are offended by something I did or finally just can't tolerate me anymore. Logic brain then goes why dont you ask them.
Anxiety brain says that would be making it about me and I should read the room ans leave them alone.
(As a side note getting this particular symptom of anxiety after a year of constantly thinking I fucked something up is kind of refreshing. Still hate it though.)
Whenever I get a therapist to work with me on controlling my anxiety this is something I should talk about. Because I get this way when im having a conversation with a stranger and thry dont react in a preimagined way.
Social anxiety is just annoying.
Side note: I have jokingly given my Anxiety the image of Pope Steven as he literally dug up a dead pope to excommunicate him . So all my anxiety ramblings will be tagged Pope steven post
