Where to go from here?

Truly flipped my perspective around: I hate to admit it but all these years of suffering was self-imposed because I wanted it so that I could fuel my own ego. It is hard to change because deep down I still want to be a khv incel as being so confirms my beliefs about the world and myself - that I am someone that I am not and that I have always been someone that I am not. Essentially, all my suffering was caused by myself. Not just in how I reacted to things, but how I continually brought on more suffering so as to validate myself somehow. I am a fucking awful human being by every metric. That statement isn't some kind of self-loathing but in fact a revelation: I am unhappy because I choose to be, and because of this, I am a person no one would like to be around as I do things that I shouldn't be doing if I wanted friends. Yet I complain about not having friends, thinking that it is an external problem. I always dismissed other's saying it was a problem with the sufferer that he has no friends, but reading this seemingly simple book made me reason my past experiences differently.

Has any book changed your perspective dramatically?

I believe in self reliance and getting things done. Only you can be the change you wish to see. You are the creator of your own destiny. The only thing that really matters is that you get out of the way of yourself. You can't be worried about what others will think of you, or what your friends or family will say about you. You can't be worried about your job, or your health, or your finances, or your marriage, or your family. You just have to do. Bash through the roadblocks and go. Don't live for the sake of others, follow your true inner purpose and ideals.

Menial physical labour actually feels more fullfilling than my studies; it feels like i'm actually doing something tangible. It's weird. I'll actually do more productive things at home on days where i've already worked 8-10 hours like cooking, cleaning, studying and reading. On days where I have nothing I need to do i'll probably just spend my entire day sleeping and browsing the internet. Maybe boomers were right all along.

“Zero, the glimmer from Narcissus-no- the glimmer’s glimmer in the spectacle of the pool is that zero, somewhere I know yet cannot grasp. It is everywhere yet nowhere, my panic grabs me not with quivering hands, nor the slough of temptation, morbid curiosity drowning the atmosphere in a dull and heavy French red. But what is this monologue if not death asphyxiation with eyes of cherries plucked from the vine and placed before my courtly dance? Is the King home? Shall I entertain his daughter? King who?, King Him? King Whom? Where is the Queen? Queen Misses? Miss the Misses. With an empty court my dance is heel first and spine oriented, directions are arbitrary and panic imperative. How high can one jump when no one is looking? But is “that” looking? Does it look all the time? I wonder if “that” considers the panic in my style. Courtly processions and embroidered pastries that feed the mouths of none as the standing light tower shines the floor tiles previous to the succeeding move. “That” that sees my dead move, complete, only sees that one moment. Maybe “that” thing is that neo-zero, the post-zero or what comes after zero yet that it is not I or II. 0+0 is not 0, it is adding zero onto zero which means zero has its duplication in the realm of the living. 0+0=0 with that final zero being “that” yet remaining a unique zero that requires equation to prove it.”

>It is hard to change because deep down I still want to be a khv incel as being so confirms my beliefs about the world and myself

I think this is a really important point and one that a lot of incels need go reflect upon. I have total sympathy toward incels but I have nothing but misgivings toward the 'incel community' and label because it allows individuals to begin self identifying as incels and then subconsciously viewing inceldom as some sort of essential and unchanging condition rather than a temporary state of being. They will moan and cry about being incels, but they in fact DO NOT WANT TO STOP BEING INCELS because at that point they stop being that very thing by which they have come to base their very identity upon and changing our identities is terrifying. I want to stress that this happens on a largely subconscious level (although I wonder how many incels are secretly conscious of this fact but consciously repress it). It is pure jouissance, inceldom is a painful state of being that in theory one wants to escape and for incels it is the failure to escape is a source of further pain. At the same time, bring unable to escape allows the incel to keep identifying 'as incel' and therefore keeping their view of themselves whole and in tact, keeping them in a state of painful-comfort and preventing them of having to take the actually painful (but ultimately liberatory) steps of leaving inceldom. By leaving inceldom I do not mean having sex (although this is of course the most literal way of leaving inceldom), I mean by stopping identifying oneself by the label incel and living for ones own self, rather than defining themselves by an externally imposed label. This is of course why people can have sex and still be incels, and why people can be celibate and not be an incel at all.

Spending good time at a friends. I have been here since new years.
I have created much ugliness in my life, while trying very hard to beautify it. I have tried so hard, but still so much ugliness is created. Perhaps, by valuing beauty so much, all I have done is made myself hyper-sensitive and averse to ugliness, and so now all I notice is the lack of beauty. It is possible the struggle for beauty is in fact ugly.

your wife might get cancer, now it's your turn to be strong for her. the inevitability of tragedy does not unwrite the good that exists elsewhere. you began by saying "nobody will ever care", like it was a fact. i called you out on your mopey self defeating bullshit and now you've changed it to "even if they do care they're going to die - where are you then?" so again, you aren't really saying noone will ever care, you are crying that love and comfort will never be unconditional - you are a weak, pathetic little crybaby, screeching down others because you cannot return to the womb. who is asking for a disney reality? there is meaning in struggle, fleeting reprieves and the bonds of loyalty and love, even after they are broken.

this began, you will recall, because an 18 year old was asking for help with his anxiety dealing with other people, and your solution was to give up on people altogether - because they will not be your final redemption.

Ive built a connection with this girl in ukraine over the past couple months through voice chats and messages everyday, but i cant get over the fact that shes slept with 3 dudes. Idk if we are even in a relationship or not but im 20, 21 in april, and am socially autistic so this is the first time Ive ever talked to a girl for more than a single day.

Anyways this makes me worried for the future, if i ever do get into a relationship is this just something ill never get past? Im a virgin myself, in me in a just 2 conflicting beliefs because on one hand i feel like its just sex and shouldnt matter, but in the other i also feel its something sacred i dont fucking know.

Even if i decided to do something like wait till marriage or try to find another girl virgin, at my age it it just seems fucking impossible, I was talking to a friend, he told me about two other friends that are girls we both knew, one slept with 20 dudes, the other around 12. maybe i should go to church again or convert to islam i dont fucking know.

It makes me angry that i care so much because personality wise this ukranian girl is pretty nice and shes really into me asking how i am and how my day was, genuinely she likes me , but i would never consider anything long term despite all her perfections. She says she has high standards, so why shave casual sex? Idk why i place so much fucking value on it, i feel like i should resolve this somehow but i don't know how. Maybe i should pray

This is just bourgeois prudishness. Sex is mundane and everybody has it. That doesn't necessarily mean it isn't sacred, but the more you have sex the less you will put it on a pedestal so to speak. Three partners is nothing and your neurosis arises from your lack of experience. I am not belittling you, when I was a virgin I used to feel physically ill when watching sex scenes in movies or even looking at bikini models on billboards because I had built sex up to be something it wasn't. Your parents have sex, your boss has sex, your dogs and cats have sex. It is what it is.

I'm reverse-cycling. I'm asleep for most of the day and awake the whole night. But my constitution has weakened. I actively WANT to sleep, right now! Only I can't. My apartment has thin walls, no soundproofing. There's a butcher's right below my apartment, he starts the day at 6pm (the time I'm usually trying to fall asleep) and he turns on machines that whirr so loudly, the noise fills up my bedroom like smoke. My neighbours are an old couple. The woman is a deranged shrew. She hates her husband and screams at him all the time. She screams at their dog, at her grandkids. The apartment above mine is occupied by an overweight middle-aged couple. The man calls his wife names all the time and yells at her. Every time the butcher cleaves meat, I can not only hear it, but feel it too. As if the vibration travels through the cement. My family has advised me against sleeping pills.

I have the same issue. There is too much noise from the street to sleep before midnight, and the street noise in the morning starts up at between 6-8 often with giant refrigerated delivery trucks on the sidewalk right below my window, so if you want a good night's sleep you have to be asleep by 12. Still sometimes you get a trash truck making noise for a half hour at 3am, or maybe some drugged up wacko is just walking down the street shouting into the night. Any events like that subtract from the total sleep hours available. If you rent a place in the city, try to find a room that faces away from the street. Moreover, if you can afford it, the higher you can go the less intrusive the noise will be. If you're on a budget though, chances are you end up on the second floor right over a cross street. I am tired all the time.

Read Camille Paglia's Sexual Personae
>The female body is a chthonian machine, indifferent to the spirit who inhabits it.

She will at least exhaust the feminine archetypes such as they have appeared before. Women need to create their own archetypes going forward. It has to be a genuine act of creation too, some kind of higher synthesis. The existing models are impersonal dionysian sexuality, maternality, viragos (imitations of men), and various degenerate mixtures spawned by late capitalism (irresponsible whore, cool wine aunt, barren shrew, submissive pathetic tradwife, unfulfilled activist, sexless dyke in denial that both women in the relationship want to be THE woman in the relationship). Either God created woman just to suffer, or some kind of higher form of womanhood is waiting to be created which will seem obvious in hindsight but which is invisible to us now.

Men have the good fortune that we're always building on what came before us. It's fun to be a man, you can look back at Caesar and imagine yourself as him and your soul gets a boner. Women have no Caesar yet, but that means the first woman Caesar will be a pretty big deal. Also, importantly, men probably can't tell you what it will look like, since it has to be uniquely feminine creative act.

My chest has been hurting for a long time. I saw the doctor for it a year ago and he said its chostocondritis after listening with a stethoscope and prescribed me some anti-inflammatory and painkillers.

I finished one course and it didn't really help so i went back in a couple of weeks and I asked him if I could get an x-ray and he wasn't happy but he gave me a signed request anyway, and another round of pills. This was a year ago. I never got the x-ray done because it was around that time that Covid was becoming a thing and I didn't want to go to a clinic.

I read that most cases of costochondritis should resolve in a year or so but mine hasn't gone away. I'm paranoid about it being cancer or a tumor or spurious growth. But right now covid is full blown retard mode and I don't know what I should do. I think I'll call the x-ray clinic and tell them I forgot about the slip and if I need to go see the doctor again or would they just do the x-ray.

I hate healthcare in Canada. You can't just pick up the phone and call the doctor that's treating you. I hope I don't hajve cancer

The final stage of irony is playing oneself: To the dumbest and to the most intelligent of my neighbors, I'm exactly the same because I rarely manage appearances or impressions except for their effect on my own eye and ear, something that's more typical of the comic spirit than any other kind. It helps that none of them are pathologically mean, including the ones with a wicked sense of humor, so there's no need to fake being pleased to see them either, or make an effort to cheer them up. It would be an effort to do otherwise. This is because temperament matters more than anything else does, which is terribly easy to forget where the technology of its concealment gives the upper hand to the worst of and in everyone. It can't be emphasized enough that to the degree the internet in general is opaque to the typical user's scrutiny as it users are transparent to the architects & owners of it, that imbalance is entirely deliberate, and almost entirely pernicious as anything else done to murder the agora with purely commercial or virtual encroachments on it. And the only antidote to its effect is to do absolutely anything outside of it, the flimsiest pretext will do. One just shows up without a plan except to improvise, and though 9 times out of 10 nothing much happens, whole decades pass without a disaster more gripping than a contemptuous look. Unless one is looking for trouble.

Conspicuous by its absence on this board is dish about Ibsen's kind of sublime or true troll, whose sadomasochistic itch to bring others down begins in things like Hedda Gabler's pyromania of others' cherished belongings, and climaxes in her suicide by pistol. Her complaints of boredom remind me a little of a high-stimulus-seeking kind of guy I knew who couldn't sit in a garden or stroll a nature trail without his mood imploding from the lack of social drama, or why it is that nothing depresses a true troll, turns its fury inward, like placid charm at any length sufficient for it. I almost never read replies to my posts, but do take a little satisfaction in how much effort some of such trolls make in response on following days, as they spawn threads which attempt to spin the subject or perspective raised in it to their aggrandizement, or gloss, anything and everything self-flattering in postulate or posture or distorted comparison. Their vanity is so goddamn endless that sometimes they're busy testing out variations on the same rhetorical trick for weeks, without ever mentioning the post that rustled their jimmies at the outset of their long campaign. Rather a lot of Goethe's blithely gliding passages & maxims set traps like that--petards that hoist the cunts--though most of them are incomprehensible from the level trolls usually operate from.

The night

Heavy, oppressing air hanging over the houses. The night sky seems to be on fire with cold and damp fire. Everything seems eternally motionless and dead, as if, while I was in the room, the apocalypse had broken out: if this moment could be prolonged for centuries, I would almost say that, as a sort of divine punishment, the world had been covered with vaporized amber that he would have kept it unchanged for eternity.

The day after

The sky, now in the late afternoon, is a metallic gray tending to bluish. I look up, and notice that the metallized chimneys of the tallest building in the neighborhood seem suddenly to be gold plated. This is because in the distance, partially obscured by the houses, come the last flashes of sunlight of the dying day. From that source, all of a sudden, numerous golden fragments detach themselves, which float in the sky altering their shape; they were white birds, probably seagulls, which, covered by the light, glowed with gold like the chimneys of the palace. The light covers the pine behind me, almost as if it were on fire, and finally the source of it disappears, leaving room for darkness: it was night.

Dreamed that I briefly teleported to my mother's yard to telepathically tell a dog (not hers) that it won't be here forever and that it will leave after death, it was very happy, running through and around some metal half-circles stuck in the dirt. Later, outside her house, I noticed one of my former friend's ex-concubine looking at a vine on the fence. She was taking notes or otherwise being instructed by it. I had a microscopic image of the edges of its leaves, thin rods tapering a point. I held it out and asked her if she had seen it, she said "yes", barely looking at me, trying to play dumb and brush it off. I said that just as the vine tapers to nothing microscopically-materially, so too will it taper to nothing macroscopically-semiotically. She silently walked away.

Dreads look awful though and they feel gross. However Nobody is really looking at me these days.
Outside of my immediate family my face never shows.

Maybe I'll get dreads just to see what happens.

Actually while typing that I just thought about maybe getting a mullet. I've always enjoyed the look.
Met a guy with a mullet once when I was hitching in Arizona. He was a good dude, invited me to a party.
His mullet truly fit him, I wonder if I could pull it off.
Might end up being like tattoo's, they look good on other people but not me.

Wonder if that line of thinking has to do with insecurities. Though I don't really feel insecure about my appearance.

Strange.

I've thought a lot about this idea that happiness and satisfaction come from suffering.
My original thought was based on how the easier my life gets the more depressed I got.

>born middle class
>parents slightly well off
>parents never strict
>never did chores
>placed in resource classes (lower than general education but higher than special education; aka dumb kids class)
>wasn't supposed to graduate highschool; teachers bump my grade to a D just so I could pass even though I did nothing

Life was a breeze, no worries and no responsibilities.
I had never been more depressed than when I was 19 years old, no job, no drivers license, no money, etc.

Parents finally kicked me out after living under their roof doing absolutely nothing for 23 years.
Instead of getting a job I went hobo.
That first night, when the sun set and I realized, "Oh fuck, I need to find a place to sleep." was the happiest day of my life.

Suffering brings satisfaction.

I had a weird experience reading Autobiography of a Yogi as a highschooler. I had this very strong feeling where you'd expect my third eye to be started freaking out. Its hard to describe but it was like the 'noise' you hear when you forcefully close your eyes (especially when you are extremely sleepy). I felt like if I 'gave in' something would happen to me, like an out of body experience. But I was scared so I just let the feeling pass.

I read the book again a few years later but nothing like that ever happened again. Now I'm revisiting it again (another decade later almost) and I started reading up about the Self Realization Fellowship. It seems many people consider it to be sort of a cult, which is unfortunate. There are also rumors that Paramahansa had kids with one of his disciples there in California.

Life is an interesting thing isn't it.

I often think about how strange it all is. We all woke up one day and were babies.
No questions were asked, nothing to ponder about. Not a single baby that comes into existence questions reality.
Blind acceptance is how we've come all this way. I've noticed the moment we begin to question existence and reality is the moment we begin to dread it.
I've been mostly docile my entire life, aside from the few adventures I retell to every new stranger I come across.

I don't believe life is intended to be good, nor is it evil. It's just life.
The more questions you ask the worse it gets, ignorance is truly bliss.
Knowledge and advancements might be the end of humanity; I'm not sure if that's a bad thing.

She seems like the sweetest person in the world when you're hanging out with her, but at other times she can be the coldest person you've ever met. I think that's the most accurate and honest description I can give of her. She's afraid of confrontation, and would rather ghost someone or block them to avoid having an honest conversation about things. She goes through friends and boyfriends extremely quickly, as just about every relationship she has, whether it be platonic or romantic, blows up after a few months, usually due to her horrendous communication habits.

I keep searching all over for someone to bring me emotional fulfillment, some peace of mind and warmth in my life. It's always empty or a failure. People are so replaceable behind a screen, so what do I really have to hope for? And sooner or later I'll be far away, out of reach of anyone who could really give a shit; maybe something will happen there, maybe it wont; but why am I sitting here waiting, no yearning for that something to happen? It's never done me any good, and I feel like I'm just watching my own suicide in slow motion. No part of my life has ever felt so empty and unfulfilling as searching for love, but of course, maybe the problem is that I'm searching to begin with. Maybe there's nothing to search for and deep down I'm afraid of my own freedom; that inner void that stares me in the face. I can't use people as sheilds from it, from eternity. I tell myself that all the time but maybe it's just self-advice I haven't fully swallowed yet.

And of course sex would be the path of least resistance. Fucking a faceless body is so much easier when you don't expect love or emotion to begin with. It's a different kind of escape. Throwing a box over the fire. You smell the smoke and see the black lines raising up and spreading across the ceiling, but you just embrace the heat and keep going, at least, that's how I used to be. I know it's wrong, I know I can't do it, but like even with love I keep coming back to lust, half-wishing for somekind of fix to satiate me for a while before I inevitably crumble into regret and disgust. I guess I'm still a Christian with that kind of attitude, they always had a weird flexibility regarding sin.

Maybe that's my problem though, I feel like I -have- to sin.

All I'm trying to do is get outta here, but first I gotta take care of business with this girl I saw for a year before we split back in October. We broke up, but then we broke, meaning come back together maybe after a month or two and here we are talking again.
It's her fault man, but she made me do the heavy lifting. I was gonna take it, long distance for a few years that is, but she just couldn't hang. I woulda married her, man, dont you just know i fuckin woulda! Are you kidding? I'd love to shoot 1 for 1 with girls and come back with a wife! And a virgin too? V card for V card on the wedding night? Fuckin choice, man, praise be to our God! But she couldn't hang and now I don't know if I wanna, man.
I know she doesn't wanna get with me again man I can feel it in me bones, but we've talked every day since we broke so she might not wanna. I don't know what to do because I love her and I love the idea of her and we are so good together but I don't know if I still love her, man. Its tough to break and talk. Can't tell which ways up in regards to feelings, but here I am! I'd take her back but then I'd be in the city for at least 2 more years and I just crave escape from the city man I can barely damn well take it.

"Collapse" is relative. I think democracy will end but America will not.

I've always figured we're destined to follow Rome's fate. We'll have an emperor/absolute monarch who nominally preserves aspects of democracy but in fact has total power. America very eerily mirrors Rome in tons of ways, especially because the Founding Fathers literally based our system of government on the Roman Republic.

But I think America will still be a major superpower even without democracy. Indeed, I think we may reach our greatest heights of raw power once democracy is gone. After all, Rome only reached the fullest extent of its empire under Trajan.

I had trouble praying at first but now I feel something when I do it. I try to thank God for things and wish others well and wish for help for others without asking for selfish things for myself.

I also don't believe God controls human fate directly but that we have freedom for a reason, but that prayer does matter and is important. So I don't feel too conflicted about the problem of evil when praying.

You are wrong. Pray to God openly.

Talk to God freely, in fact, even when you are angry or upset at Him. A huge chunk of the Psalms are Psalms of lament, and anger, in which the Psalmist expresses his anger and exasperation at God.

Don't talk to God less. Talk to Him more. God is both omnipotent and omniscient, why wouldn't he have time to hear you?

What you are troubled by is the fact that God doesn't just do what you want, it seems. But this is the way of the Lord. He will sometimes give us the exact opposite of what we ask for. This is because He knows what we need, and it is often not the thing for which we ask.

But keep talking to Him. Speak freely. Get in the habit of talking to God about even small things. You will not be sad you did. For God does answer, if you talk to Him enough. It won't always be the answer you would like, or would wish. But answer He does.

don't feel bad, it is a very hard passage to understand and i had to google what he meant by it when i read it. it was a very pithy way to put a totally novel idea which became relevant centuries later.

plato (ostensibly) believed in an ideal reality of "forms" or "ideas", separate from our own temporal and imperfect reality, of which he thought we should intellectually aspire to. plato consequently believed that we shouldn't focus on pains or pleasures because they keep our souls imprisoned to our bodies, when we should be focusing on what is beyond. montaigne was arguing that pain and pleasure are relative, and that they do the opposite of imprison our souls, they give us freedom, which he thought was the real horror. most people probably ignore that passage because it's very oblique as compared to the rest of the essay

It's translated? That makes perfect sense. It may be good in your own language, so I wouldn't worry about that. What language, if you don't mind me asking?
I appreciate the images you're attempting to convey, it's just that your command of English isn't quite good enough to make it work.
I said "bad" very bluntly because I think blunt, unbiased criticism is one of the perks of posting your stuff here. You almost certainly wouldn't get that from friends IRL. And also because I think any particular criticism of what you wrote wouldn't be useful. You just need to work and improve. That's if you want to write in English, of course.
Do you want to write in English? If so - read, read, read. You need to get an intuitive feel for the flow of the language. You need to immerse yourself in it as much as possible to absorb it like children do. And write, mimic writing that you like, copy it even. I think literally copying a book you like by hand can be a very good exercise.
But if you have no intention of really writing in English, don't worry about my criticism because I have no idea how your passage comes off in the original language. There's still some good advice above, though.

New trend is old. Bring Back Post Ratings.

Are we just demonstrating our power levels here on the Nigerian Picnic Philandering Emporium? >>17216443

>Why do we need an audience so badly? Are we attention whoring? >>17213461

Post Ratings consider reading and writing ability. While demonstrating reading comprehension, one could score 5 of 5 for a brilliant effort post, but writing on this board rarely scores more than a 1 of 5, since most will hate a given post.

One could receive negative marks if one has publishing aspirations, since shit posting takes away from generating a manuscript. However, negative point systems exceed the comprehension level of the average /lit/erati, and are best avoided. Let it suffice that a 1/5 post is an epic fail.

3/5 liked it >>17211062
2/5 disliked it >>17210453
1/5 hated it. >>17211795


This rating system indicates more feeling than evaluation of content value.

On youtube you can watch old recordings of various places, some in advanced hd like quality due to being recorded by a tv or film studio, and it is almost like taking a time machine to a different point and time. It's probably the closest we will get to going back in time. We are able to directly observe the past as it was, preserved eternally in time. You are able to see the people the past and how they lived for yourself instead of just reading about it. It's pretty insane.

I try to take things like this and then export it to periods we can't see. I've had, no joke, little mental revolutions by forcing my mind to picture parts and moments of the ancient world differently. I think the trick is in that you are not just taking your default way of seeing the thing, and then try to modify it arbitrarily and abstractly. You are taking the "feel" of a whole other period, which you know reflexively, and then mixing that with the feel of the period you're trying to modify.

For example years ago if I tried to picture the Aegean in Roman times, but especially in 1000-400BC times, without realizing it, I always pictured it as a slow "monolithic" place where travel was hard. I knew the facts and details that travel was easy, I knew on some level everything I know now, but it FELT slow and sleepy. But then I tried imposing my "feel" of the bustling seas of the early modern and modern periods onto it, and I realized, holy fuck there is simply no such thing as a slow and sleepy period in history, those seas were bustling with whole pirate and commercial companies that are lost to history because they were taken for granted as the constant background of life by Greeks and Romans. The ancient maritime world was just as lively and lived-in and bustling as any modern pirate movie represents the Caribbean.

I used to picture the Diadochi period and feel a strange sense of sadness that it was an "in between" period, in between the familiarity and liveliness of the Greeks and that of the Romans. Now I know it was probably a chaotic buzz with stories and sagas lost to history's view.

You can also do this with ancient groups and figures. It's so hard to picture the grandeur of Plato's Academy or Pericles' Athens until you map something totally mundane from modern life onto it and realize these people were human beings, nothing is ever solemn or grandiose about human actions. Everyone is all too human. I can't express it well but sometimes even while watching a video clip of a busy street in the 1970s I will save the image and try to map it onto other things. Is that what Elizabethan London looked like? The mundaneness of it.

I'm the kind of guy who always worries about being the one in a social group who isn't very funny but keeps talking anyway even when others are trying to clue him into it by ignoring him. Whenever I get ignored several times in a row that anxiety hits me full force and I get upset, angry, feel detached and leave for a day if not longer. The irony is that getting ignored sometimes is normal, and usually not on purpose. Everyone has shitty jokes that don't land, conversation starters that don't go anywhere, but people good at conversation don't worry about this. I bet they frequently don't even notice it. Anxiety in social situations is strange because most people who have it have no need to genuinely worry, and it's the slobs who don't care for their appearance or others' thoughts that should be more socially conscious. Anxious people rarely stand out unless they're conspicuously anxious.
