Like whoa

Alright seriously... it's 12:21am and I'm freaking out. How is it that everytime I'm challenged... whether in school, by friends, on dates, etc.. I just freak out? Can't I just be okay with myself and move right along? Apparently the right answer is NO. I can't. I bitch and moan every step of the way, fighting myself and every belief I've ever had. How I'm still alive through all this anxiety is a scientific mystery. I know I've never been that calm of a person... but seriously, I used to be much more easy going. I remember the days when I could actually make people laugh. I could sit around with a group of people and not be consciously trying to make myself as obsolete as possible. I used to not think about the awkward pauses that I was creating and instead fill them with quips, stories or random noises. When did I let fear take control? Ugh... and the more I think about it, the worse it gets. I thought recognizing your problem was supposed to be the first step in solving it? That's the last time I trust anything with the words "self-help" in the title.

Okay, deep breath. I know as soon as my midterm is over tomorrow I'm going to deny I ever felt this way. But then as soon as I find myself getting hot flashes and using the excuse "I'm just tired" instead of actually making decent conversation, I'll remember.

thank you Albert.
