Here's a question: when you talk to yourself, do you address yourself as “I” or “you”? I call myself “you”.

Another: whose voice do you imagine when you talk to yourself as if you were another person, say, asking “you” a question? Your own, or someone else's? Whose?

I went out for a coffee earlier.

The trip had actually been quite pleasant until I was approached by a childhood friend who I became sort of distanced from in highschool. Very friendly, genuine person who seemed as though he really wanted to catch up. The interaction started out great, until I gradually started to lose it. My voice became increasingly muffled, eye contact started become inconsistent and my responses became increasingly incoherent. Then my hands and posture just began violently shaking. I wasn't nervous, frightened, upset or any negative emotion whatsoever. What the fuck. He obviously became aware of my literal convulsions and wrapped things up quite tactfully out of courtesy.

I don't even have problems with anxiety in public or even social situations for the most part. Never again.
