Leaving me out only makes me feel like an outcast.

Having anxiety doesnt mean you should keep your distance from me to avoid scaring me off.

I assume everyone hates me, even when they reassure me its not the case.

Having Anxiety Doesn’t Mean I’m Happier Alone

At least Ill know I actually matter to you.

Thats a good feeling.

That makes me happy, even if it does make me nervous at the same time.

Having anxiety doesnt mean being alone makes me happier.

Yes, Im able to enjoy my own company, but there are times when Iwantto socialize.

I dont want to spendallof my time alone.

I dont want to hide away forever.

I want to have real friends.

I want to have a real life.

Having anxiety doesnt always mean what you think it means.

It doesnt mean you should keep your distance from me because the smallest social interaction will make me self-destruct.

It doesnt mean you should treat me like Im invisible, like Im a doormat, like Im different.
