I look around and see so many unknown faces. I go quiet; I can't seem to get out any words. In crowded places like this I feel like a nobody. People greet me and I force a smile so that they don't recognize my discomfort. A few people shoot me looks, I wonder if they're judging me. Is something wrong with my outfit? Did my mascara smudge? Do they think I'm weird or ugly? Do they realize that I feel extremely nervous and uncomfortable? I feel tears start to swell up in my eyes; I hide it by looking down and fidgeting with my hands. I'm shaking uncontrollably. It feels like something is stuck in my throat, I feel nauseous and strange. My mind is filled with so many things yet it is blank at the same time. Everything feels like a dream. My eyes wander around the room so many times, it's all happening so quick I don't even realize it. Every day I suffer more and more. It's like my brain forces me to feel this way in a crowded room filled with people I don't know. I just keep pretending everything is fine and hope nobody notices my discomfort. When will my suffering come to an end?
