hey
yesterday i was being really anxious, and I had lots of thoughts, because we were about to go to a restaurant.
I almost had a panic attack, but then i calmed myself down 4 a while.
and I relaxed in the garden. And I thought, hey... is everybody at the restaurant to look at me? NO.
Would someone think i'm weird when I act awkward or nervous? NO.
Cuz I won't feel that way about someone.
So it's all irrational. It's not true, all the thoughts we have, is just a lie.
It's just all about how we face the world.
I found out that trying to tell myself it isnt real... works
Maybe it works for you guys too??
I know it's hard.. it's still hard for me tho..
And i was still nervous at the restaurant.. But I did go..
If i didn't calmed myself down, i wasn't even going lol

I think almost everyone here knows its irrational, but thats why social anxiety is such a powerful mental disorder, because although we know it's irrational, there's very little we can actually do about it. It's like a demon that has possessed your mind, controlling it while you watch helplessly.
