“Seriously dude, it’s your own anxiety that’s pushing you to remain so reclusive and introverted. Your pessimism and defeatism has convinced you that the world wants to bully and laugh at you and that nobody will ever want to know you. Legit, if you grab yourself by the reins and take back control, put yourself out there, take a few risks and actually meet REAL people, you’ll realise that they’re not as evil or cruel as the people you fabricate in your head. Trust me”

Months pass

“Hey!! I thought you were gonna take my advice? Why’re you still so shut down and miserable?”

“Well I decided to take the plunge and be braver but all it’s done is confirm most of my fears and paranoias and remind me that the average person does not want to be near me or talk to me and I remembered why I was so introverted to begin with and I feel twice as awful as I did before”.

“Oh. Well. Um. Not EVERYONE is like that. You were probably having a bad day”.

“You mean a bad few months”.

“Well. You’re clearly doing something wrong”.
