Having social anxiety in college is the absolute worst. Have you ever had a mini panic attack when your phone starts ringing? Have you ever hidden behind a textbook when people walked by you in your school library? Have you ever gotten all sweaty and red when unexpectedly called on in class?
If so, fear not. I, too, would answer yes to all of these questions… on second thought, maybe it should worry you if you’re like me.
But, really, sometimes it just takes too much to people.
Hello, heart palpitations. It’s nice to see you again.
But you’re really not.
Phones are a great way to avoid eye contact, though.
Like, you wish you could just talk to anyone, but you can’t because then you might die.
But what if there was a glitch and your teacher didn’t get it and she gives you a zero and hates you for messing up and then you just drop out of college because you suck?
So, logically, something terrible is going to happen to you. You’ll probably get hit by a car or something.
But then you remember– people will be in class.
You’re actually excited about it, too, but then this happens.
No, really, it hurts.
I’m sure it hits you right in your anxiety-ridden feels.
And always will be.
Because you connect with this on a spiritual level.
But that’s simply not going to happen.
Is something normal people do on a regular basis.
But, so what? You’re still a badass. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
