Spotlight Syndrome

in #anxiety7 years ago

Do you feel like all eyes are on you? Like everyone can see every mistake you've made? I do. Its called spotlight syndrome. Mix that with my general and social anxiety and its one huge mess.

I went to dinner with friends and to a Christmas party this past weekend. Now i can't stop replaying everything, and picking it apart until there nothing left of the original memory.

I spoke too much, or not enough. I interrupted someone who was speaking. I ate too much. I drank too much. I wasnt interested enough in what other people were saying. I didn't smile enough. I left in too much of a hurry.

Its like having cellophane wrapped around my face.
