It is social anxiety if you just don't LIKE them?

We went out for food earlier and my mood broke a little. I am NOT comfortable, really, in loud crowded places. I keep twitching and jumping and feeling sick and tearful after. Unfortunately there'll be a repeat performance, since I'm hopefully going out to pick up a Dragon Quest map at Best Buy today. (With any luck.) I hope I don't freak out or anything. That's shameful.

Also on this hot, dry morning, someone dumped a cigarette in the mulch outside our window.

*look up*
*plume of smoke*

That's -jarring-, right there. (Went out with a cup of water and put it out.)

Feeling talkative and twitchy as hell lately. I apologize if I'm spamming the crap out of Livejournal. Think of it as the flip side of the times I spend two weeks dead silent.

They say that, but they say a lot of things I hardly agree with.

Still, yeah. It's nice to have a wingman to fly cover in case I need to bail out.

I'm with you on this one. Exposure can be a valid treatment plan, but not unless it's done carefully and monitored by an attending physician of some sort.

Maybe we can, I dunno, hijack a cave and hole up for the rest of 2010. You, Rin, and Reyna can stay inside, and I'll venture out to get necessities as needed. No one allowed inside without a secret password AND token.
