Anxiety.

Like many people out there, I've been blessed with a certain type of anxiety disorder. Not many people try to understand why I dislike strolls or staying outside in general. There's an intense fear of people buried deep inside my mind, and I can never feel safe with strangers around. It's difficult to even trust my friends, let alone unknown faces on the street. I always feel like I am in danger. Nearly every person I pass, I am simply scared of them. What's on their mind? What are their intentions? And if they are, why are they staring at me? Are they following me? It's irrational, and it goes beyond being just careful. I cannot help but to keep my eyes on all sides all the time, turn back, left, right, check the surroundings for whatever threats might lurk in them. Feels weird to share it all with the world, but perhaps there are others out there who struggle with similiar issues, so all of my hugs for you!
