Im just going to talk into the void here and hope it responds

i had fun today at the founders day festival, but it’s also brought up a fuck ton more insecurities

Okay so, one pf my friends came out as bisexual, which is great!! Good for her. I told her I was bi-ace mostly because it was easier than explaining Saph-ace. She made some sexual jokes but that was fine and stuff. Then she started talking about her own experiences and desires and it was just sort of uncomfortable for me? I probably should’ve said something. She also smokes and stuff.

The other friend I went with, he seemed pretty plain? Innocent? That’s not the right word for it but I don’t know how to translate “Shareef” properly. Essentially he seemed like the kind of person who doesn’t typically get involved in stuff like that but apparently he’s had his fair share of experiences.

i don’t know I’m just really insecure and nervous now? Almost everyone in my friend group is older than me. And they’ve all been in This area a lot longer than me, like three years at least. I literally moved here two weeks ago. But I’m still expected to know things because I’m technically from here and I live here with my aunt.

my parents set up a thumb rule of never going places off campus without my family. Aka not to go to hangout places with my friends and invite my family along at the very least. And while of course I trust these people, they feel like good people who have good intentions, they just have this ease and familiarity with the area that I just…don’t. To them a little detour is just 5 minutes out of their way but to me it’s just filling me with anxiety as I go into over load about what could happen even though nothing probably will. But they’ve suggested going to a nearby community centre and it always feels like I’m ruining their fun by saying no. Luckily it hasn’t really become a problem yet because our lunch break doesn’t allow enough time to go there eat and come back.

also just. What if I’m too boring? I don’t fuck around with smoking or drinking or anything and I don’t want to be that kid with the reputation of being “innocent”. Plus everyone has all these crazy stories of years past where they rebelled or whatever while the most rebellious thing I’ve ever done was go to the mall with my sister without telling my dad, and it was to buy him a birthday present.

And everyone so far is super nice and respectful! I shouldn’t feel this way! They’re all good and nice people with good intentions!! But something in my garbage nonsense brain makes me wonder if my Utter Cluelessness and Trusting Nature are about to be taken advantage of by my friends and I hate that feeling and wish I could get rid of it.

And another problem is that there’s a plan for our class to collectively go buy the stationary required for our semester but it’s far away and as mentioned I can’t and also don’t want to be going off campus without my family just yet and I don’t know how to excuse myself from it

hey frank, do you have any tips on dealing with anxiety?

I've already done a long post on this, but here are a few things I wish I'd known about it in the beginning:

1. When people describe how they experience anxiety, "uncontrollable fear" is a term that is thrown around a lot, but this is wrong. Anxiety isn't "panic about X that then manifests as Y". In most people, anxiety doesn't involve "fear" or "anxiety" in the same way people talk about fear and anxiety. And in some people, the underlying feeling is one of guilt or worry.

So, the first point I guess is that it's really worth distinguishing among different possible things a person might mean when saying "I feel anxious": if they're talking about anxiety as in the word (which they may, of course, in casual conversation), this may not be the same thing as their underlying "emotional state".

2. Anxiety can come in waves. I usually notice this as a sudden transition from low-anxiety to high-anxiety that I don't recognize as coming from an underlying "emotional state" (as in point 1).

3. Anxiety can vary a lot in terms of severity, as well as in how bad the underlying "emotional state" is, or whether it causes any "physical" symptoms. People tend to talk about this as a spectrum of "being mildly anxious" to "being in a constant state of panic". The most I've seen it go to in terms of severity is "exhausting panic attack that lasts all day and makes everything worse, possibly followed by mild anxiety after".

4. In some people, anxiety can cause "panic attacks" (the "exhausting panic attack" type), which can take the form of a sudden drop in heart rate, chest pain, shortness of breath, etc. Anxiety can also trigger heart palpitations or other symptoms without any drop in blood pressure. (Some people may not know about heart palpitations – I'm one of them, because I didn't know this was a thing.) People tend to talk about these more than "panic attack" with a lower-case c. I think "anxiety attack" is meant to refer to the general feeling that it makes you anxious, rather than the whole thing.

5. In some people (myself included), anxiety just tends to be a normal part of the experience without any particular pattern (the "anxiety" type). So there is always anxiety, although the anxiety may fade in and out of focus over a span of time (the "wave" type). Some other people (usually people with "anxiety attack" as a symptom) have a whole pattern of very strong anxiety at certain times, although the rest of the time they tend to be less anxious. So, even though "anxiety" is normal in some people, there are other people who have "anxiety attacks". (I used to think that "anxiety attack" referred to the whole experience rather than to one type of symptom, but I am starting to suspect it's just a special case of "anxiety" rather than a separate type of symptom.)

Not me sitting on the couch at three am on day five of my anxiety freeze thinking of all the decisions that I have made that have lead me to feeling this vulnerable. And all of the things out of my control that have made me feel this weak. Not me sitting here stewing in resentment for all the things I cannot change and all those who be me to. Not me not me not me

10 Signs of High Functioning Anxiety and What to Do.

Have you ever felt anxious yet also like you got a lot done during the day? It's not just you! There are many individuals that suffer from high functioning anxiety. People with high functioning anxiety can frequently complete their tasks and take part in daily activities. They are, however, also highly susceptible to stress and burnout.

Do you want to know if this might apply to you? We will go over 10 typical signs of high functioning anxiety and what you can do to help with those symptoms if you suspect you have high functioning anxiety.

1: Overcomplicating.

Do you ever find yourself overthinking or overanalyzing things you have to do? With high functioning anxiety, that is typical. Perhaps it is because you want to do everything properly, or you are frightened that others will critique your work. This symptom definitely relates to you if you find yourself thinking about how to accomplish tasks or probable results all the time.

The idea is to strive for "done, not perfect" in order to manage over analyzing and overthinking. Many times, completing tasks—even if they contain only minor errors—is much preferable to failing to complete them at all. This also entails embracing reality as it is, which includes the possibility of human error.

Setting time limitations on how long you work on or plan for something is one exercise you might try. Set a timer, work until the timer goes off, and then quit. If you really need to accomplish additional work, take a break and perform this exercise again. If you are finished, make a fast edit later and carry on with the day's activities.

2: Pleasing Others.

When you put other people's happiness or satisfaction ahead of your own, you compromise yourself. This might occur when you agree to something you don't want to do or don't have time for, or when you change your mind about your own views and opinions in order to please another person.

This qualifies as high functioning anxiety because, despite your concern over the other person's response, you are able to go on with your day and take the necessary steps to appease them.

Say no more frequently to practice dealing with this anxiety symptom. Exercise saying no and expressing your viewpoint, whether it be by declining to conduct an activity for someone else, take on another assignment, or disagree with someone. You might discover that the person you're afraid to disappoint still values and interacts with you in the same way!

3: Nervous Behavior.

Nail biting, hair pulling, and fidgeting are all signs of anxiety. In contrast to other illnesses, such as OCD, high functioning anxiety does not prevent you from accomplishing your goals.

Try breaking the habit for short bursts of time and then gradually increase it as you work on this high functioning anxiety symptom. Can you wait for a few seconds, for instance, if you want to gnaw your nails? the following thirty seconds? Can you eventually space out those intervals to one minute? Two?

4: Exhaustion.

You'll probably feel exhausted because of feeling stressed, being on the go all the time, or having neurotic tendencies.

You can use two seemingly incompatible ways to control your weariness, but they actually complement one another nicely. Ensure you are genuinely getting enough sleep first. Do you get about eight hours of sleep each night? not overindulging in sugar or caffeine?  Focus on  your health and rest. If things are under control, you should use your energy for exercise in a healthy way rather than just sitting around.

 Find physical activities that you enjoy doing with your body. You should exercise your body to release tension and get your energy flowing, whether that involves walking, riding, or hitting the gym.

5: Comparing Yourself To Others.

Do you frequently evaluate your character and work against others'? This frequently occurs in high functioning anxiety due to perfectionism, which we will examine shortly, and people-pleasing, which we previously covered. Even while comparison might not always take up much of your day, doing it can be very draining.

"Compare and despair" is a term used in Alcoholics Anonymous. The field of psychology across the board makes use of this phrase. Reduce your chances of comparing yourself to others to start working on comparison. Some social media accounts may be muted. Do you have to research projects being undertaken by others in your field? Can you avoid discussing some subjects with your peers?

6:Having Trouble Relaxing.

You'll probably discover that it might be challenging to relax due to the tense energy. This may have an impact on not just the apparent aspects of your life, like sleep, but also on your focus. Your personal and professional lives may be impacted by this.

There are two things you might do if you find it difficult to unwind. One is using breath control exercises to relax and regulate your body. This can be accomplished through guided breathwork exercises or meditation. Try interacting with the present through your senses as an alternative technique. What can you feel, hear, see, and smell? Can you taste something slowly, such as food or a beverage?

7:Achieving a lot.

High functioning anxiety patients frequently excel in their fields. Even while it can seem like a quality that would increase productivity, having too much of it can cause burnout. Have you ever worked incredibly hard on a huge assignment and then ended up becoming sick as a result? High achievers commonly behave in this way.

Try giving projects acceptable deadlines to counteract this warning indicator. Don't choose the earliest deadline you can in an effort to impress people. Give yourself space to operate at a speed that feels acceptable to you and lets you avoid feeling rushed. Along with improving the caliber of your work, this will also benefit your health and wellbeing.

8: Perfectionist tendencies.

As was previously said, perfectionism is frequently a goal for those with high functioning anxiety. The drawback is that attempting to live up to potentially unattainable standards for oneself might result in burnout.

The objective is to "get to done, not perfect," just as with overthinking and overanalyzing. 

9: Appearing to be calm.

Individuals who have high functioning anxiety frequently present as composed individuals. However, they could experience extreme internal overwhelm and anxiety. The greatest way to deal with and process emotions is not to bottle them up.

Become more adept at expressing your emotions to fend off this. It's okay if you find it tough to verbally explain these feelings to others. If you have trouble expressing your feelings in words, consider writing them down in a journal. Writing down your emotions allows you to keep them private while simultaneously publicly expressing them (instead of keeping them inside!).

10: Countless plans.

We will now go on to the final indication of high functioning anxiety: frequent planning. Making plans is perfectly fine, but if they don't turn out the way you had hoped, it could cause a lot of tension.

Try creating a plan while keeping in mind that things might not go precisely as you had planned in order to navigate planning. This is an excellent opportunity to work on acceptance.

Your pretty little soul dances on,

Even when it has been through the worst,

It pulls it's self up and marches on,

Swaying with all the moments that linger around it's mind,

Floating through the good and bad times alike,

Healing itself and inspiring others,

It has never been a quitter,

As it shall always remain divine.
