So I have really terrible social anxiety bc my mom emotionally abused me as a child and I was out with my friends walking around downtown and we got a little bit close to a couple in front of us and the lady turned around and asked, a little rudely but no one was upset “would you like to pass us” and we said yes and sorry really quickly and passed them, and she said under her breath but pretty loudly “you we’re about to run us over” but still no one was really mad, even though we weren’t that close to her and I’m 16 I’m relatively cute and I have super bubbly, disney princess voice, but I turn back to her and say “sorry, we don’t have the best spacial reasoning” as a quick little joke at ourselves and I was being really sweet and apologizing and then I turn back and she’s like “well maybe you should learn” and she was being really rude and so one of my friends says really loudly “well maybe you should learn not to be rude” and the ladies husband takes a second but says “well maybe you should learn manners, that would be a good place to start” and we walked off but it’s been a couple hours and I came back home and I can’t stop thinking about it and it’s so stupid but I’m like actually about to cry and I’m shaking and it just really messed me up for some reason, like my social anxiety is through the f****** roof right now and I cannot handle this.
