Social anxiety takes over in a pod.
I want to talk, but my chest is tight. My head is spinning and my thoughts are cloudy. Just talk!!! What do I even say? (Then I zone out completely thoughtless, just watching the chat bubbles illuminate as other people in the pod talk, not hearing a word being said.) My head hurts and I’m really thirsty. (I drink some water) I can breathe easier now, but my chest is still tight and my head still hurts. Take a deep breath. Just talk!!! Say something, anything!!! (Mind goes blank) I’m so lonely. Wait they said my name, say something!!! (I actually did say something this time. Which left me with a huge smile on my face, and shaking from all the adrenaline. I fought the anxiety, and I won this time.)
I just wanted to share, maybe someone can relate or better understand the power anxiety can have.
