I'm not really sure if this relates to social phobia, so I put it in this section. I was just wondering ... do any of you feel afraid of having fun? Like, on school days, I don't let myself do fun things after school out of fear that I'll be wasting time or I should be doing something else. Even if I have all my work done -- I can't have many forms of fun unless it doesn't "waste time." I mean, I believe in managing time well, but not being crazy like that!
Like today. It's the end of vacation; this happens every vacation. I feel like I didn't spend time well, I should have caught up on sleep more, I wasn't productive, etc. Towards the beginning of vacation, it's great because I have all this time ahead of me -- then, at the end, it's as bad as being in school. Not in terms of social anxiety, but I feel anxious about everything else.
Tomorrow I'm going to NYC for a part of the day, and although I would like to do this, I almost wish I wasn't going to go because I feel like I'm wasting time and should be working on things (even things that aren't required). It's just annoying; when I don't have social anxiety, other anxiety comes in. Does this happen to anyone else -- fear of having fun, or "wasting time"?
