I have a lot of social anxiety, which makes monthly life quite strenuous to execute like normal people do! You see, I’m always worried about social interactions, being in sizable crowds, or having any attention directed my way.
These afflictions make it so complicated to do easy jobs like going to the grocery store, attending job interviews, as well as going to social gatherings.
That’s why I absolutely dread the holiday season, when there’s no way to avoid all the seasonal parties you receive invitations to. Every get-together is awkward as well as uncomfortable for me already, so it’s especially awful when the indoor air temperature is also less than ideal. This is exactly what happened last weekend, when I attended a formal get-together with my spouse as well as the Heating as well as A/C system was truly on the fritz. We walked into the galla as well as everything was pristine; but, the temperature was ridiculously high. The furnace seemed to be running on full blast, as well as it was scalding sizzling inside the reception hall. Within ten minutes my associate and I were drenched in sweat, fanning ourselves, as well as anxiously pulling on our collars trying to breath. It felt as if my associate and I were trapped inside an oil boiler. Every time I was introduced to a new human I had to turn around as well as mop the perspiration off my forehead before wiping my sizzling palms on my dress so I could shake their hand respectfully. The heat was so overbearing that my associate and I left the get-together within half an hour. My spouse was disappointed, but honestly, this was the best case scenario for me.
