There was this one customer I had, I think 2 years ago now, where she took one look at me as I was coming toward the counter and serve her. Her eyes and brow furrowed and it seemed as though her face changed before my eyes. Something dark was in her and as were the words from her mouth. I ended up not serving her.

This rant is going to sound a little silly but it is bothering me quite a bit, and I really need to get this off my chest.

At my church we have what's called "connection classes". They are basically youth groups but take place during the first service, and prior to beginning we are able to sit and chat with others, thus "connecting" while our youth minister's wife brings the breakfast she made for us. It is rather nice, and I've made a couple of friends in the two years I've been there. However, the church is changing things; not just the youth groups but the sermons as well, and my youth group, the college students, are going to be merging with the singles, which consist of at least 30-40 people. Now, I have a form of anxiety and have struggled recently with it at the college student youth group, it didn't really start until the college students came back home for the summer. Regardless, I am finding it very difficult to believe I will be able to handle a class full of 40, 50, 60 people. I've consulted two people about it; a friend who is involved with the church, and another woman, who her and her husband are the ones to be considered in charge of the youth group. One told me not to borrow troubles, and the other simply encouraged me.

I feel like they don't understand the depth of my anxiety, and they are merely passing it as shyness. Yes, I am shy but I sincerely struggle with anxiety with large crowds, and I feel there is no way I can handle it. And it sucks because I love going, and I go there to learn more about God and to hear the Word. I just really feel like no one actually understands and can't understand. It's fine and dandy if you are outgoing but there are people who aren't. Our pastor has already recognized that this will be an inconvenience for some, because of how they are changing eveeerything up. It's just, urgh, frustrating.

I know. Keep putting yourself out there and I will eventually get used to it, but I can get really sick from my anxiety to where even attempting to go out of my zone that far is not even worth it. A lot don't understand, and I don't expect you to either; I just really needed somewhere to rant.

Thanks :3

Unbelievable. I buy my co-workers pizza every week, I buy them Coke Vanilla whenever I can (they're only here for a limited time) and I try to go to work every time they call me in on my day's off and yet they still disrespect me. Here's what they did to me today...

One co-worker goes up to me and says, "Blah blah blah blah. What did I just say?" I knew he was mocking me because I have a habit of blacking out from too much stimulation.

In spite of all the food and drink I bought for my manager on request, he buys himself and some other guys some slurpees but not for me. I ask him, "What about me? Where's my slurpee?" and her tells me, "Would you like me to breast feed you too?"

My manager also was talking to a co-worker about me. I asked my manager about what they were talking about me about and if I should be worried about it. My manager then starts playing mind games with me because he felt like I was accusing him of something which I had no intention of doing. I just worded it wrong.

Finally, another co-worker said behind my back that I would suffer a mental breakdown if I were to try to fight someone. This is also because I get stressed from all the stimulation. Just plain rude.

I get no respect.
