My anxiety makes me doubt whether anyone cares about me as much as I care about them.
There is not a logical reason for this but I will have a go at rationalize itanyway.
I willtell myself they would have sentmea text if they were interested in talking.

My anxiety makes me doubt whether anyone cares about me as much as I care about them.
It makes me second-guess whether I am wanted even when someone begs me to come out with them.
My anxiety convinces me to saynoto plans and cancel the ones I have already made.

I will tell myself everyone will have more fun without me in the room.
I look like a flake because I am too embarrassed to tell my friends the truth about my anxiety.
My anxiety causes misunderstandings.
I cannot turn my anxiety off like a light switch.
I cannot choose when I am in the mood to socialize and when socializing is a chore.
I cannot control how nervous I get around people.
I am not trying to push anyway away.
I am not trying to distance myself.
It happens on accident.
It happens without me even realizing it.
If my anxiety has pushed you away, Im sorry.
And if you are still here, Im trying.
