No you don't get it
I know people always say "everyone gets anxiety from time to time"
But not like this
Not like I do
Not like how I almost skipped class yesterday because I was convinced
I was walking towards my death
I mean it was three degrees out and I was sweating
I mean I almost threw up
When I sat down in my seat because I became overwhelmed by the idea that I couldn't leave

It's not just being nervous
For a presentation
It's not stage fright
It's not any other kind of fear I've ever felt in my life
It's irrational terror that feels completely legitimate even if most of you know that it isn't

Don't call getting tongue tied in conversation social anxiety
Try spending four hours just being me....
