Lately, I’ve been getting extremely nervous when outside, and even when meeting friends, I feel really out of it, frequently not replying to anything said to me, or doing so late/detached. I have developed this really toxic personality, where if I am around someone/friends with someone who is better than me in any aspect, I get this anxious feeling, like I can’t or shouldn’t be around them at all, eg. being taller, stronger, better looking, better physique, etc. I haven’t been interacting with many people, as it’s the summertime, and I just rot all day. The only time I’m actually outside is when I’m going to the gym, and even that is becoming increasingly difficult to do consistently. This really hit me when me and my family went to go and see a concert, and when we got there I was so thrown off by a regular crowd/people walking by me because of my own sense of how I look. Although there is much to fix, I wouldn’t even consider myself a bad looking guy. But I have started to get very nervous in crowds, even when I know that at the back of my mind, nobody cares, they never have. Just wanted to get it off my chest. Thanks for reading.
