i have all the makings of somebody that can like do a lot more and be universally liked. I skateboard, am musical, play guitar, am good socially etc. but my anxiety and trauma holds me way back and prevents me from trying new things. I constantly think the worst is always gonna happen in any situation, always feel like I’m a bother to people. overread social cues etc. kinda gotten like really good at suppressing all that/putting on a mask when i need too but I’ve always wondered what kind of person i would be, how much more opportunities i must of had if I wasn’t so anxious and worried all the time

I get panic attacks often. And it sucks every time. Smaller and smaller things are triggering it and I hate it. Happened while I was in a crowd of ppl and like unintentionally got punched in the jaw by some ppl in a rave, tried to skateboard away but my panic mode kept on making me fall on my ass so kinda just ran away. luckily a friend brought back my skateboard/stuff but I’m so embarrassed

@AutumnDork I hope you can overcome your anxiety! Just going to a huge event like that while suffering from anxiety is already a huge success, even if not everything went 100% fine. The furry community is in my experience very understanding about mental health problems so you can find a lot of support if needed.

@Takios I’m generally fine w/ big crowds. grew up in big cities, like going to concerts, use to perform my guitar in front of a crowd etc. just like the random shit that reminds me of past traumas is what gets me 💀
