What’s something that gives your anxiety?

Making Phone calls

people

socializing

going into a public place

talking to someone i don’t know

going to a party for my parents’ friend

STANDING IN THE CHECKOUT LINE AT TARGET WHILE MY MOTHER IS GRABBING THE MILK

All of these.

Also, having to go to any social gathering, especially with family and get the dreaded question:

“So, what do you do?”

an easier question would be ‘what doesn’t give you anxiety?’

“what gives you anxiety?” 

me:

There is no truer answer than everything listed above.

I’m gonna quietly agree to all of the above

*nodding in silence*

Personally gonna add:

The drive thru lines (for some reason more than just ordering inside. Praise Covid for curbside pickup)

When a stranger is on the same side of the street as me (I’m so gonna get kidnapped, even tho I’m an adult)

Randomly driving into work when I’m earlier than usual (even though I’m a manager)

When I see any animal on the side of the road when driving

When I have the opportunity to make a friend and speak to a person but am unable to find any form of words other than “hm” “okay” yeah" “cool’ “sure” and I seem like a jerk

Right now it’s everything but I’m gonna try to be more specific

Waking up (just the thought of facing the new day gives me a tremendous amount of anxiety just when I open my eyes)

Driving (new driver alert)

Social gatherings (basically not drinking now which makes them 100 times harder)

Applying to jobs

Job interviews

Getting out of the house

People reaching out to me (the anxiety has to do with me having to interact or respond to them)

Working (I write and edit stuff for people and rn I always second guess myself)

Shizuo Heiwajima

POV Date w/ Shizuo: - Too shy to maintain eye contact - Starts convo off w/ the weather - Panics during awkward silence - Gives you the cherry off his parfait (offers to split the rest too) - Desperate for a cigarette

POV Date w/ Izaya: - Unnerving amount of eye contact - Wants to know everything about you (for blackmail) - Dodges questions about himself - Frequently goes on philosophical tangents - Never a silent moment (never shuts up)

Facebook and google are helping cops prosecute people seeking abortion. Be very careful in this new era people.

As the political climate grows increasingly fascist, please consider protecting yourself and the people you talk to by transitioning away from gmail, google chat, google calendar, etc. Protonmail has a free encrypted (private) email option and a free encrypted calendar service, and is trialling a free cloud storage option.

Also consider having sensitive conversations on encrypted services like Signal or Element instead of well-known leakers like facebook messenger, discord, skype, text messages, imessage, etc.

That buffer of increased privacy is probably enough to make a difference for the average person since these mass surveillance campaigns typically prioritize targeting the people whose data is easiest to harvest.

Forgot to post this >_>
