I have to attend some training on the weekend to help out with my uncle's fast food place. I'm afraid to work...what if I get so nervous that I forget how to count money? What if I can't remember all the dishes served because I'm so terrified? What if my face goes all red while talking to a customer? What if I run into people who know me? What if I can't even do a simple thing like handle the cash register? What if a customer complains and I get so upset and scared that I start to cry and have a panic attack?
Ohhh...I hate my social anxiety...it is by far the most debilitating of my afflictions. :-(
How am I ever going to make it in the "real" world? :-(
I've been getting help on and off since I was 18, if social anxiety is so easy to treat, why am I not cured yet?Deneb (used to be Shy_Girl)
