So this is how everyone runs out of stardust lol <| sep |> I think the moral of the story is You ' re lucky it was Thanksgiving and people tend to be more kindgenerous on the holidays . <| sep |> There ' s enough space to make an even bigger mask . <| sep |> Don ' t mention the weird stuff I do when I ' m feeling anxious . I develop facial tics and I fiddle a lot when I feel anxious , which makes me feel more anxious because I know people will be noticing it . If I catch you looking at me or if you mention it , even in a lighthearted way it ' ll only get worse . Don ' t force me to do something . E . g . If I ask you to get the bill in a restaurant , please don ' t refuse and make me do it . Do attempt to make the situation more comfortable for me if possible . I can ' t think of an example but if we were in a situation that could easily be altered to make it easier on me , give it a go . I ' ll appreciate it . Edit Also , don ' t assume that because I don ' t have panic attacks , I don ' t have anxiety . Anxiety comes in lots of different forms and it ' s not always a shrieking , crying panic attack .
