It doesn’t matter who you are or how long we’ve known each other.
If you get a text from me, you probably aren’t getting the first version.

If you get a text from me, you probably arent getting the first version.
Youre probably getting a version that was edited for five to ten minutes.
Im probably jumping at every notification sound.

If it takes you too long to text back, Im probably worried you hate me.
If you use LOL, Im probably worried youre fake laughing.
My anxiety doesnt discriminate.
It can appear when Im with my favorite people in the world.
It doesnt mean you stress me out.
It doesnt mean you make me uncomfortable.
It doesnt mean you have done anything wrong.
My anxiety arrives at the strangest times.
I might have trouble following through with plans.
I might have trouble being a good friend who keeps promises and always shows up when shes invited.
I care about you.
I adore spending time with you.
And I hate when my anxiety creates distance between us.
I hate when my anxiety causes me pain, but Ireallyhate when it causes my loved ones pain.
Im trying my best to stop letting my anxiety get in between me and my friendships.
Its not because I dont want you around.
Its because, sometimes, my anxiety makes it hard for me to express how much I care.
