I rarely leave the house, so have to force myself to do so. Today I went into town, and got a coffee. I noticed my voice was weak when ordering, probably due to lack of use. Social anxiety was nearly 10 on a scale of 10. I just felt like an alien trying not be noticed.
On the plus side, nothing ‘weird’ happened (paranoia, waiting for something weird to happen)
I think if it wasn’t for the social anxiety, I’d probably get out more.
I did spend a bit of time trying not to stare at people, I think that came from watching too much tv? Maybe.
Well, I could not find the center in which we were going to make calls. I even google mapped it, and still couldn’t find it. It’s a huge disappointment for me, and a big waste of gas. Oh well, there will be other opportunities in the future.
Good job. You don’t have to do it every day but maybe you could do that again two or three times a week. I bet it gave you a great feeling of accomplishment when you got home. When I do stuff it doesn’t always feel good at the time either. But it’s all worth it when I get that feeling that I actually did something.
Most of us can relate to the feeling of being an alien who only wants to hide its presence.
Most of us, even the seemingly self-confident ones.
You just have to remind yourself that people, basically, don’t really care, and if they ‘stare’ it is only because you randomly
happened to be in their sight and they got nothing else to do.
