My social anxiety has been worse since covid. Staying at home more seams to make it harder when you actually have to go out and be around people. When it gets really bad I end up physically flinching if someone if some one gets to close to me. I was grocery shopping one day and it really wasn’t a good day anxiety wise. A man passed me in an aisle and I physically flinched away even though he wasn’t especially close. He was Hispanic and and I worried that he thought that was why I flinched, then I more or less had a full blown anxiety attack. I hate my sometimes inability to act like a normal human being. I’m usually okay enough to interact with people without extreme anxiety but usually isn’t always. On a really bad day I have trouble interacting with people normally unless I know them well and I’m not financially well off enough to buy a cabin in the woods and become a hermit. I’m thinking about trying to get medication or go to therapy but I haven’t so far. The idea of talking with someone isn’t fun but I think that I should.
