https://media.tenor.com/gjBx2zbdJjAAAAAC/anime-dr-stone.gif Right now I feel overwhelmed with all the upcoming events. I wanna go and experience these events but at the same time I'm already thinking about how crowded it's going to be, and as an introvert, I think I'm going to be drained fast, so I kinda just wanna stay home instead and spend my days in my room. I don't know what to do now. Dunno whether I should push myself and go, or give in to my own comfort again.

Better to do something now that makes you uncomfortable than to regret not going or wish you had. On the other hand, for me, overcoming social anxiety is easier to achieve for concerts than conventions even though you can be smooshed together at concerts.... but I just love music too much to miss out when I can go. Conventions are easy by comparison.

@verucassault thanks for that :’) FR I wanna go to that Japanese Festival/Con/Concert. But all of em are happening in another city, and IDK I easily feel homesick. Still have attachments with the isolation/quarantine during covid. XD And a lot happened w my mental health as well and public/crowd makes me feel somewhat uneasy.

@daggerfella Social anxiety is exactly as it sounds, anxiety due to social interaction. General anxiety is just that, anxiety for no real reason. Got a bit of both, more leaning towards social anxiety.... Fucking sucks and it's not as easy as "Just talk to people." , but that's also literally how you condition yourself. Well, that's the case for social anxiety. Edit: Full blown panic attacks are really fun when you black out.;P
