i have pretty bad social anxiety . today while i was paying for my groceries , my anxiety acted up and i ended up giving the cashier the wrong amount of money twice . i felt like just running out of there ! oh no , that must have been pretty awful . do you not have self checkout at your grocery store ? not at this one , unfortunately . i made myself look like i ca n't even do basic math , when it was just my anxiety acting up . if it makes you feel any better , i bet that happens a lot to the cashier . they probably did n't think twice or care as long as you were n't a jerk . i apologized profusely . probably enough to make myself seem even more awkward than i already seemed . ugh , i need to stop thinking about it . i deal with anxiety myself , so i know not thinking about it is easier said than done . take care of yourself and try to find a good distraction to get your mind off it !
The person felt ashamed due to an embarrassing incident at the cashier.
