Anxiety Self Help

Yes. I know exactly what you mean. I feel like everyone is watching me, waiting for me to do something even remotely stupid or wierd and then making fun of me once I'm out of ear shot.
The hardest part of this anxiety stuff is knowing that these fears are irrational. People have their own lives to live. I know they have more important things to do than make fun of me. I know that they don't live just to embarass or mock me. Sadly, knowing the truth doesn't make the feelings go away.
Just know that you're not alone in these fears. There are many of us who feel the same way every day of our lives.
I wish I had some advice to give you that would magically make the anxiety go away. I don't. All I can say is hang in there and try to believe that you're not everyones laughing stock. Because that's the truth of the matter.
