These thoughts mirror my thoughts on an anxious day so well. Your ability to articulate the turbulence of social anxiety so honestly is fascinating.

thank you so much! sometimes when I’m writing it all out, it’s just to understand it myself, so it’s good to see others understand ❤️

okay first things first, I ADORE second person narratives and you did it so well here! as somebody whose anxiety has also been hugely debilitating where socialising is concerned, reading this was so validating and I love the way you describe that 'settled' feeling once you realise you are actually completely okay. such a beautiful piece <3
