Re: Kind of an odd thing to be self-conscious about

[nyxelestia]

That kind of sounds...not that different from self-consciousness in general? I'm not seeing how it's less exposed than the other things, and as such why someone would be self-conscious about waiting for a bus (and isn't that basically doing something?) over just being self-conscious in general. The fear (?) of classist assumptions I can kinda get, but otherwise I think I'm still missing something.

Just standing there feels really conspicuous. If you're walking, you're going somewhere -- and it also reduces the amount of time any one person can stare at you and judge you. Movement is kind of a shield, psychologically. That, and you blend in with everyone else who is also moving. If you're just standing there like a lump, it makes you stand out more. It draws attention -- or at least, it feels like it does. There's also the fact that just standing there waiting doesn't occupy your mind as much, so you have more brain-space to worry about people staring at you and judging you.

Re: Kind of an odd thing to be self-conscious about

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, what the other anon said. I feel far less self-conscious when I'm out in public and actively doing something. (And no, standing and waiting isn't the same as doing something.) If I've got something to distract me, that helps. If I'm with someone, that helps, too. But being by myself feels really exposed for some reason. Rationally, I know that it's no big deal. That doesn't fix the problem, though.

I'm sure you didn't mean anything by it, but the whole point is that for some people, the anxiety isn't necessarily logical, so asking why is pretty squirm-inducing in itself. If you have to ask, then the explanation probably won't make much sense to you and I'm slightly envious that this is something that doesn't seem like a problem to you.
