AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO FEELS THIS?

[anxiousalexis]

I’ve tried explaining this for years and nobody gets it. Has anyone had anxiety over a person randomly? They don’t do anything but their presence just randomly gives you anxiety and you feel they’re not real? It’s a type of derealization but it’s not completely that. I can be hanging out with a friend and I’ll get anxiety then look at them and feel more anxiety and more uneasy that I want to get away. Has anyone had this happen before?

Hello

I think this is normal , I have have it happen just sometimes not the persons fault that makes us feel this way but something just makes us feel anxious about that certain person , try not to pay it to much attention but know this can happen and it is ok

Take Care x

Try not to allow it to me , try accepting it and it won't have as much fear when it happens x

I had this exact thing yesterday, talking with my colleague and suddenly I can't concentrate on what she is saying, my heart is beating fast and feel faint and sweaty.

She suddenly seemed unreal and all I wanted was for her to stop talking and looking at me so that I could calm down.

The thing is she is lovely and what she saying was interesting.

I guess it is just a free floating panic attack.

It did pass but when it happens you just want the person to shut up and leave you alone🙃
