    What sucks is you get so good at pretending to be calm that all the anxious ones get calm from you. If you ever admit or show the anxiety… well, you’ve just fucked them, and we can’t have that. So now you’re twice as anxious because you have to be calm for them.

    I genuinely can’t tell which I am. I think with calm people I let my anxious energy more free and with my anxious friends I exude more calm.

      Same honestly. I’m usually the anxious one but if someone else in the room is freaking out already then I’m fine?

    My wife says she doesn’t wanna let me go for survival reasons. She’s a cute ball of anxiety whereas everyone thinks I’m chill as fuck.
