#i don't meet with my therapist until tuesday fml

if you're close with someone who has social anxiety, PLEASE.

what we crave more than anything is validation. when you agree with us in conversation or casually compliment or casual compliments, it means so much.

social anxiety likes to convince us everyone hates us and that everyone judges what we do, how we look, the way we speak, and it especially likes to do that with people we're close to.

so as someone who's friends with someone who has social anxiety, just remind them that you care, that you dont hate them, that you dont find their every move annoying and that you value them. it can help, so much more than you'd imagine.

#social anxiety #validate me #i want to vent but im scared ppl will judge so im making this more wide reach so its not just about me #but it is about me srsly #im in one of those moods where everyone i love thinks im annoying yk #i don't meet with my therapist until tuesday fml #who needs therapy #i have online people who i rely on for validation who currently are NOT validating me and im panicking #maybe my support system shouldnt be so circumstantial #jk having a stable support system is for cowards #someday this will bite me in the butt #my ex is talking ab my insecurities to other ppl now 🙂 #and my friend called me her thirteen reasons why #ik she was joking but #could you not make suicide jokes to me #like i probably will do it someday and im trying hard not to but it feels like everything is telling me to give up #i had a chat about this with another friend and she just listened to music and put her headphones back in #she told me later it was fucked up #but it hurt #and istg #if i had a singular person tell me that they cared #a singular person tell me that i wasnt a burden #or that it would matter to them if i died #i wouldnt be misusing the tags on tumblr rn #anyway sorry lmao im feeling Not Good as you can tell
