    They are and it’s apparently celebrated here in Lemmy to be the worst kind of person without working on it.

      Judging by the downvotes, I’d say you’re right. Reminds me of my ex who would make every excuse in the book just to avoid having to make a phone call. It’s very tiring to deal with.

        When did we as a society reach a new low that involves shitting on people with anxiety?

          When it became a fad to brag about it and not to work on it and interact socially like our species has done for thousands of years.

          It’s fine to not be social all the time and to have anxiety. This. And all this conversation in here about how normal it is to despise your neighbors enough to hide inside just because they are outside… Is not that. And it’s normalizing a fear and lack of interaction that doesn’t help people. It just makes it easier to feel right about your specific quirk.

            No one’s bragging about anything. We’re just trying to have a good laugh and relate to some problems we encounter in our lives. Nobody explicitly told you that we aren’t trying to solve this problem. I don’t know why you would make the assumption that we weren’t.

            It just seems like you want to shit on people going through something for the fun of it. Do better.

              You speak on behalf of others that have stated the opposite and you speak to my motives incorrectly.

              I don’t wish for people to normalize this as the end of the symptoms cause it creates a world where people who are suffering as well don’t have others to look to for having to go through the struggle of bettering oneself. People are in here normalizing the act of the anxiety and not the stress of rising above it.

              I’m responding to the conversation as it is happening in here. You are responding to how you wish it was because it’s easier to blame the squeaky wheel.
