I blush in constant embarrassment
I hide in constant fear
My heart beats faster than yours
My hands will always shake

I agonize over things that happened
Punishment for things I can’t change
I hate myself for being awkward
But I don’t know how to change

I hide when I hear laughing near me
And my heart starts racing faster
I cringe when people stare at me
And my eyes bore into the ground
‘I feel sick.  I’m not worth being there.’

I can’t use a computer with a webcam
I can’t use a phone that talks
I fear the cruel txt messages
Flashing back to my old life
“Ur so stupid. You actually believed that?! XD”
“Your creepy ugly”

I hate eating in front of people
And sometimes shake when I force myself to

I hate using a public restroom
And I don’t dare check myself in the mirror

I can’t sit in the middle of the class
‘Too many people’
‘Too crowded’
‘Too open’
‘They must be watching me’
‘I can’t hide’

I can’t go shopping
‘What if I see someone I know?’
‘People watch me pick stuff out’
‘I know they stare’
‘I know they’re judging me’

I can’t talk to a stranger
I can’t fill the silence
So now you think I’m weird
I just don’t know what to say
So I don’t say anything

I’m afraid of those close to me
‘They don’t really like me’
‘They only pity me’


I’m scared
I’m nervous
I’m shaking
I’m convulsing
Heart thumping out of my chest
It’s trying to bust out.
It’s burning in my chest
My throat searing
I can’t breathe
I can’t get a full breath
My chest feels so tight
I want to rip my ribs off
Gasping faster
Gasping harder
I have to move
I can’t stay still
I only see strange looks
Through my tunnel vision
Help Me! I’m Scared!
Now…I’m panicking

So this is inspired by what I call my paranoid social anxiety. I don’t really know what it is. I’m just kind of a mess xP I once said that I’m more paranoid and anxious than people realize. And someone answered “Probably.” So this is the best description of it that I could do though I feel like I left stuff out. :blushes: I’m really branching out here to complete honesty, because I guess I kinda want people to know, so please don’t judge me >.< But feel free to tell me what you think!

So, on some level I know people aren’t always watching me and judging me and whatever. It’s just these little thoughts that keep popping up and nagging and they don’t go away until on some level I don’t exactly believe them…but yet I kind of do… :confused: idk its hard to explain. Some of those thoughts are the ones in single quotes ‘ ’ (cuz I couldn’t figure out how to italicize :blushes:)
And it really isn’t always so bad it’s just times when it’s triggered then it acts up really bad for several days sometimes over a week. Usually isn’t so severe. And almost nonexistent when I’m with my friends.
(and I know I said I was gonna hold off on the poetry >.< Dammit! :stupidme: )
