Ugh...

So, I had to go out with my mom and sister last night, we just went to McDonalds, I just had coffee cuz I was so nervous and was too sick to my stomach to eat anything. My mom brought up the fact that I appeared very nervous and looked like I was going to pass out. This makes me even more self-conscious going out as now I know this is how I come across.

Damn!

I think it would be very different the way your mother sees you as compared to other people, they would be very different perceptions. Your mom sees you all the time, and she knows your personality, so she would notice when you're acting differently and then she would be able to perceive that you were anxious because she would pick up on the little things. But honestly, strangers (a) probably won't notice and (b) almost definitely won't care.

Don't drink coffee when feeling anxious. It make's it worse.
