I know, it's probably a good idea not too.

Thank you.

Mm hm

Guys I’m not sure if this is anxiety and I thought you guys might be able to help me.

Whenever I hear footsteps coming from behind me I get really nervous and kind of want to run away and I’m always nervous when it’s just me and one other person on the street. I don’t like going to toilets on my own and I always have to go with a friend. I always speedwalk past places that sell alcohol and am afraid of walking out at night in places we’re peopke drink. I always feel like people are looking at or judging me even when they are probably not. I’m scared to carry more that £20 on me and I’m always afraid that if someone were to try to kidnap/mug/rape me I’d be completely defenceless. I don’t know what this is but I get pretty “anxious” about these things but I don’t really know what to call it. Help?

I'm not sure how to help you friend, but I would think that's normal cause I've felt it too….

Yes @Tiani that's definitely anxiety. Plus a bit of common sense but mostly anxiety.

I've got to agree, that sounds like anxiety, honestly.

I think it's pretty normal to fear those things, especially if you're a girl. They're all valid things to be worried about. But the level of nervousness is something to take into account as well. If you're only a little nervous, I'd say that's reasonable. But if you can't control your fear, try taking deep breaths before you go out or when you feel the fear creeping up on you again. Maybe you could have someone go with you when you're out and about, because there's safety in numbers, at least in situations like these.
I'm not very good at this, so I'm sorry if this doesn't help.

thanks for the advice everyone, its been really useful :)

No problem!

<3

That does sound like anxiety. I'll be here if you need me.

I'm just going to paste a comment here that I wrote while editing a friend's story. Basically I highlight the whole story then wrote this comment.

Stop with the OKs, and the Alrights. Add more contractions (Real humans don't talk like this). ADD CONTEXT OF SITUATIONS OTHER THAN JUST SPEAKING. people say show not tell well all your characters are just telling. THEY HAVE NO PERSONALITIES WHATSOEVER. If the trapper is the bad guy why is he so nice, and informative. HE LITERALLY SAYS WHAT HE WISHES TO DO. PUNCTUATION IS AWFUL. Comas, they are a thing. Use them, please. You use a lot of one liners. If it doesn't progress the story don't have it. Lots of this is just unneeded space fillers. Ahhh, not necessary. Just say the person yelled or screamed in fear, in pain, in anger. Before you write anything else, PLEASE edit.

Hey!

Shuri!

AFT!

Soo how are ya?
