my social anxiety kicked up the other day while paying for groceries and i failed at doing basic math in my hand due to my nerves . i ended up giving the wrong amount of money . it 's okay . people are very understanding . did you underpay ? i 'm sure it happens all the time ! yup , i did ! and i 'm usually very good at math . when my anxiety acts up , it 's like my brain just goes blank . we all have those moments ! sometimes you just have to shake it out of your mind and take a deep breath .
