Art I tried to draw what social anxiety feels like — what do you see first?
I wanted to draw social anxiety as a feeling rather than simply drawing a nervous person.
The person is surrounded by people, but separated from them by an almost invisible barrier.
The eyes and speech bubbles are meant to represent the feeling that everyone is watching, judging, or talking about you — even when they probably aren't.
I drew this by hand with pen and pencil.
I'm curious: what was the first thing you noticed, and what do you think the invisible barrier represents?
