It's a manifestation of insecurity. When you have social anxiety, you see everyone as being superior to you, even thought that's objectively not the case.

It's on a deeper level than your understanding/perception of a situation. You can feel safe and comfy as fuck, and still gripped by deep-rooted fear and involuntary behaviours when you try to say something or god-forbid make a desire known. Maybe I'm being autistic but I think it's misleading because the representations imply it's at a higher level and more a matter of conscious perception when it's really that your mind is fundamentally broken.

Not worth it. Most of them refuse to prescribe anything for anxiety (depression they'll roll the read carpet out for however) and just give you "dude just b urself and put urself out ther lmao" level advice. AND NEVER EVER ADMIT TO ANY SUICIDAL OR VIOLENT THOUGHTS NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU

every time my phone rings i get the same reaction as when my alarm clock goes off in the morning. it just fills me with dread because i know some asshole wants something out of me, usually my boss or my mom asking for another thousand dollars. i'm not nervous about talking to someone, i just want them to fuck off and leave me alone. i fucking hate cellphones and its bullshit that people think i'm they're fucking personal assistant who's waiting an standby to do whatever they fucking want. you can never truly have alone time anymore because of cell phones. there will always be some fucking asshole who thinks he has the right to reach you at any time of fucking day. like most things in life, they're designed so that people can have more power over you.

if i didn't need it for work i just wouldn't have one. my boss already freaks the fuck out that i have a flip phone with no gps. just fucking tell me the address i need to go to and i'll look on a map for fuck sake its not rocket science. its the same exact thing with cars, too. every fucking piece of technology we have, that they tell us is so great and that we're so lucky to have, is nothing but a bunch of shit to make us more efficient drones. i don't remember the part in Genesis where God said "okay now each man will have a car and a cellphone so he can go to work and his boss can call him on saturday when he's trying to read a book and enjoy some peace and quiet."

Yeah, that's really apparent in books written during the (relatively) early history of the modern schooling system. There's a loss of innocence narrative in a lot of bildungsroman novels. You have the robust, carefree kid from the rural village plucked from his childhood home, shipped off across the country and locked away in this alien hostile environment, turned sickly introspective, self-conscious, etc.

he's just saying it's obviously not as simple as "things appear different with social anxiety". the comic makes it seem like it's a problem on the perception level when it's actually a deeper problem. hence him saying you can be in an environment that's comfortable and non stressful, maybe a very close group of friends, but you still hesitate to complete inertia if you actually want to say or do anything.

This isn't like my social anxiety at all. I'm not insecure, I just don't like being around other people. It's loud and tiring and my voice is too soft for anyone to hear me at a bar. I certainly don't apply to any of this toxic mix of autism and insecurity and if this does apply to you, I hope you don't try to scapegoat this as a "condition."
