[hider=Anxiety. (Vent Warning)] I can't help thinking that people hate me. Yes, it could be my self-loathing talking, but I grew past that. This time it's like a parasitic, consuming feeling that I can't shrug off. Nor can I ignore it. Sure people can say that they don't despise me, or say that i'm not simply tolerated, but the feeling that they wan't to get rid of me is still there. What did I do wrong? How can I fix it? I always ask myself, and yet I'm too much of a coward to speak up, in fear that everyone will turn on me. [i]"Just leave." "Just stay silent." "Just let them pretend you don't exist. It'll be better for the both of you."[/i] I might as well be rendered mute. Considerably, I already am, right? You've never heard me speak before, and I never know what to say, right? Anxiety's a bitch, but I can't get rid of it. ...Right? [/hider]
