Yeah, I get anxiety. I panic whenever I walk up to a closed door and cannot immediately see which way it opens. What if I think it's push when it's pull? What if I walk right into the door? What if I take too long to open a fucking door? That would be so embarrassing. People will laugh at me.

The thing is, anxiety is awfully narcissistic. Nobody watches you this closely. Nobody cares how I open a door, and nobody gives a fuck if your screen name endorses a fic that might turn out to be not so good after all. And you know this.

It's harsh but in the end, that's what social anxiety boils down to: you aren't that important. People don't care about your inconsequential errors of judgement. Frequent avoidance makes it worse; I suggest you go and leave kudos on a genuinely shitty fic right now so you learn to get over yourself.

Unnecessarily harsh

(Anonymous) 2013-05-12 12:28 am (UTC)(link)
Sometimes that's what's needed. I know that from personal experience.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-12 01:21 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks for validating the comment with your opinion and proving that everyone has narcissism, not just the people with anxiety.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-14 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
Except um I'm pretty sure the anon was someone who had a similar anxiety disorder and understands it's egoistic nature (and admits to the narcissistic slant) and thus how they got over it ...so like what is your point?

(Anonymous) 2013-05-12 01:00 am (UTC)(link)
and yet the world still does not revolve around you.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-12 04:17 am (UTC)(link)
da. I don't think it's harsh. Speaking for myself, a lot of the anxiety I did have, I learned to get over it when I learned that people really weren't paying THAT much attention to me, and that my tiny faux pas really was NOT a big deal.

Learning not to magnify the significance of all those things? Helped me realize that it wasn't the big deal I was making of it.

Maybe it doesn't work for you, but that doesn't necessarily mean it won't work for everyone.

Wow, again with the anons who obviously have no idea about anxiety.

(Anonymous) 2013-05-12 01:36 am (UTC)(link)
We, again with the anons who use neurodivergence as an excuse to be arseholes.
