Go dude. In those 10 minutes you could've gone, found out you'd rather do something else and come back already. (I know the problem of indecisiveness though)In my room listening to tv and thinking do i go out to my friends house 4 doors away or shell i stay in?
Been thinking about this for 10 minutes and I'm not sure what to do.

I usually psych myself out before I can go anywhere that involves being social. Unless I'm extremely bored to the point where I can't think anymore. LolIn my room listening to tv and thinking do i go out to my friends house 4 doors away or shell i stay in?

I just don't like going out, i got anxious and panicked. So i went back home almost in tears
Awwwwwww.....that sucks. I'm sorry. It's different for some of us. Some don't mind going out. Others don't like to go out. Some only go out when they really really need to, like for work, school, grocery store, etc. I usually only go out if I really need to. Which sucks cuz I like hanging out with my friends sometimes when I get tired of my solitude. But the whole process of GETTING to my friends is just too much for me sometimes. Sounds strange but even driving near other ppl is enough to freak me out because although I would hope everyone's eyes are on the road, I worry that they're watching and judging me for being a dorky, loser. Other times, when I can muster up the courage to drive to wherever my friends are, I just fear their judgement of my weirdness or fear they'll start to pick up on my lack of emotions and see right through me trying to pretend and blend in with them that I don't bother. There are times when I feel great and can almost naturally hang out like a normal person and other times I feel nearly drained from planning out how normal and full of regular emotions I'm going to have to be so that my friends don't see right through me and think that I don't care about them or that I'm not having a good time. As annoyingly, tiresome as it can be I care enough about my friends to do it. It's tough though.
Yeah I work 23:00-07:00. I'm so glad I work alone at my new job. At my old job I worked with several co-workers among others and I used to have to do the same thing, like mentally prepare myself for an hour before starting the day and even then I would have to keep my anxiety at bay otherwise I'd start to get nervous, worried and hot. Just wasn't a good feeling at all. It's crazy to think that we have to live with things like this year after year. When I start feeling anxious I crave solitude as if it were fresh air to help me breathe.Uh huh when i got work im frustrated but i give myself an hour to get my mind set and then it goes through stages. Stage 1 work till 00:00 then have a fag and then eat food then have another fag. Stage 2 work till 2:30 then have a fag and relax for 10 minutes. Stage 3 work till 4:30 and have a fag and relax for 10 minutes. Stage 4 work till 6:00 and go home to relax. My work goes like this: 21:30 order picking/loading
22:30 fag break relax time
22:40 back to work
23:00 fag break lunch time
00:35 back to work
2:00 lorry turns up (if im picking i
have to unload the lorry if im loading i carry on loading.
2:30 fag break relax time
2:40 back to work
4:30: loading side door
5:30/6:00 Finnish either relax for 30 minutes or go home
Sounds easy but lets add the worst part:
Working with colleagues!
Colleagues touching you!
Winding you up!
Approaching you and chats to you when you don't want to talk to them!
Feeling tired and drained
Anxiety
