When I think about going to school, I think that I will get embarrassed:
I will have an anxiety attack and someone will ask me what's wrong and I won't know what to tell them. Everyone else will think I'm crazy and won't want to be my friend. I don't want to be alone.
I will do something stupid like trip over myself and people will laugh at me and even though I'd laugh at myself, I'd only do it to seem like I'm not embarrassed.
People will judge me all at once and I'll feel too different from everyone. I will feel inadequate.
What actually happens:
I do have anxiety attacks but people usually can't tell.
I do trip over myself but no one blows it out of proportion.
People probably do judge me without me knowing exactly how. I do feel too different. I do feel inadequate. But people are still nice to me.
