I always feel like my presence ruins it for others, that because I am so shy and anxious they themselves feel somewhat anxious in not knowing how to deal with someone like me. So I feel I hurt them in that way. This is not the case for everyone though. Some people are unaffected and these are usually the very strong, confident people.
I know I've hurt people and will continue to hurt people, unfortunately. Strangers, acquaintances, friends, family, and most of all my parents and myself.
well mines more panic disorder than SA.....but the only two ppl Im comfortable with and that help calm me down are my mom and gf....so when I know I cant see one of them easily I get some ****ty seperation anxiety...and I know its a burden feeling for them....it sucks
