I want to do things on my own. i wan't to eat at restaurants and enjoy walking in the park. i want to experience life outside of my room, but i can't because of my anxiety. I can't make friends either. i don't know why, they just never stick around and always get bored of me, so i'm left with having to do stuff on my own if i want to experience life. "oh you just need to do it enough and you'll get over it" NO. SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UP SHUT UPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP!!!!!!!!! IT DOESN'T. it doesn't get easier, i just feel more and more self conscious about every tiny little thing i do. sorry i don't have whatever powers you were privileged enough to be born with.
