Social anxiety, one of my worst enemies. It strikes at every corner, it eats me inside. The lies, the self doubt, the fear... Everything it's too horrible.

It sits on my stomach. I don't know what to say. I feel the hate, the hate I have for myself and others might have too.
I don't want to face life, I want to hide and not to exist.
I am such a fake person.

My feelings are hidden so deep down, my voice is fragile and insecure.
Some days it is too much to handle.

You are a real person. It's not fake as much as a protective mask. That is how I see myself. I learned at an early age to hide behind 'masks' to protect myself. Today, I still don't know why I do it.

I hope it gets better for you.

You're not a fake, mulan
