Too much focus on me, anxiety, insecurity. Poor self-esteem, I guess. When I'm hypo, much of the anxiety is gone and I feel much more at ease talking with anyone. Depressed, I don't want to show my face to anyone.
Today I have a job interview and this is the worst case scenario for me. My anxiety is haywire right now. Stomach in knots. Shaking with anxiety. Too much focus on me, needing to impress, pressure to "fake it 'til I make it", so-to-speak. God, help me!
The best of luck on your job interview. Hang in there I am sure you will do just fine.
