Today, I was at the book store when a book caught my eye: Overcoming Anxiety For Dummies. I wanted to look through the book but I was too nervous to pick it up, thinking everyone in the store would look at me. FML
Collection
Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I had an anxiety attack when I learned that my favorite book series is coming to the end. I had to leave the store and sit in my car. FML
Today, I was talking about phobias and anxiety disorders in psychology class. I nearly had a panic attack because I was worried that someone might realize I suffer from them. FML
Today, I went to the store with my girlfriend. She needed to use the bathroom so I started looking at the books. It wasn't until the manager shot me a weird look that I realized I'd wandered down too far and was looking at bridal magazines, holding tampons, dog treats, and hair spray. FML
Today, I was in the middle of enjoying a really good book while in a waiting room. Someone saw what I was reading and thought it would be cool if she leaned over and told me everything that happens. FML
Today, my social anxiety hit a new low. I was playing bingo and, although I won, I didn't shout "bingo" because I thought too many people would look at me. FML
Today, I began worrying I have social anxiety, all because while getting dressed I convinced myself that everyone would talk about me behind my back if I wore a striped shirt. FML
Today, I went to a coffee shop. As I headed over to stand in line, I tripped over my own feet. I got back up, then tripped up yet again. Everyone was staring, and I was so mortified that I went to leave. I then struggled with the door under their glares before realising it opened the other way. FML
Today, waiting in the deli line at the store, a woman stood directly next to me. I panicked and tried to move back to get a 6-foot distance, but in my panic I didn’t realize there was a stand behind me. I almost fell over, so I gasped super loud. Everyone looked at me like I was crazy. FML
Today, at the supermarket everybody was staring at me. After ten minutes, I realized that my umbrella was still open. FML
Today, I decided to work on my social anxiety by ordering some food. I waited in line, practicing my order in my head all the way. When I got to the front, I said my order with no mistakes. The cashier just stared blankly at me until I mumbled, "Never mind..." and left. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Anxiety sucks. I remember when I used to be too anxious to fap. Op, you should start exercising, especially weight lifting, as it does help to relief stress and somehow overcome anxiety.

No he's right because 's also means possessive form. Its would mean there's more than one it but it's can ether mean it is or it possesses/ owns

Order it online. If you could have picked it up you wouldn't need it.

Wouldn't want the mail man to see it though. That could be dangerous.

Stop thinking what other people think of you and address your damn problems. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has told you this through out your life.

It not that easy, but it IS that simple. There was a skit on snl once with a guy visiting his shrink and all the shrink would say was "well then stop it" or "then cut it out, dont do that anymore". It was funny as hell. obviously it doesn't actually work that way but I believe many anxiety issues, addictions and anger issues can be improved or even cured with a similar approach. IT IS HARD, but it is also simple, just like most things in life that are worth doing.

Bullshit. Just grow some ******* balls, for the love of Zeus.

Take it from someone who has the same issue. Weeeed
koolkat27 13
it could possibly be social anxiety. it's a real condition and it's not so easy to overcome. op- sorry these assholes are telling you to grow balls and shit. take it from somebody who has social anxiety, I hate it.
mrahhhhh 21
