The worst thing about anxiety is youre self-aware.
You say things like, Im sorry you have to deal with me.
Are you mad at me?
Riccardo Mion
Do you want me to leave you alone?
You place your insecurities out in the open for the world to see.
You wonder whether you should have kept your issues to yourself.
You wonder whether you revealed too much about yourself.
Of course, sometimes their reassurances arent enough.
Even when youre told everything is fine, you have trouble believing it.
Its not that you think theyre liars.
The worst thing about anxiety is that you cant stop it.
You have to hope they wont hold your emotions against you.
Someone doesnt have to come out and sayyoure being ridiculousorcalm downfor you to assume the worst.
The worst thing about anxiety is how hard the experience is to share.
You cant even explain it to yourself.
You understand your anxiety is irrational.
You understand it can come across as annoying.
But you cant control yourself and you cant explain why.
