What in life holds you back?

The law. Life would be soo much easier if i could take what i want and off who i dont like. Anarchy ftw But really, my social anxiety is what holds me back. Its super hard to interact with people and make friends..

@ Neet, if you don't mind me asking, what actually disability is this that you have? & Kc_watz, yep, social anxiety is a bitch. Personally, I feel like I am strange mix of anxious and hateful; so I not only am wary of interaction, but I sort of disgust it, too.

Dysgraphia and dyscalculia, having an abnormally high IQ, being so socially different that it usually drives people away... I can go on more.

Social norms. I know it's stupid to let norms control my behaviours, but tweaking my personality and hobbies a bit to fit into society and actually have friends feels better for me than beeing alone and being made fun of. I've tried both, and I like it best this way, although the best way would be if i could fit in while being myself, but that's just not a reality where I live.

I would say my emotions, like fear of failure, fear of being embarrassed,combined with my desperate need for attention which is held back by fear so yeah
