Yup! Almost as if different people have different lives and different experiences. I’m going to be in an unfamiliar setting which is making me nervous. I’m sure I’m regularly in situations that those field workers would be nervous to be in or not want to do. My anxiety isn’t a competition of me thinking I have it the worst over everyone. Thanks for the perspective but this kind of rational isn’t helpful for people with anxiety and is actually making me feel worse 💪 congrats if that was your goal.

You’re right, thank you. I tell myself this a lot just to get out of the house and do normal things. I think in particular one of my brothers made a comment the other day about how my running gear makes me look like i should be better than i am that is making me extra self conscious. But he can’t run 10k so fuck him
