You mean like Reddit reinforcing the idea that anybody with the slightest bit of interpersonal awkwardness suffers from “social anxiety?” Yeah, i feel the same. Honestly entertained by topics like this one because the comments become a one-upping menagerie of “well MY social anxiety is worse, because...”

You’d think Reddit somehow became the Mecca for all people with anxiety disorders by how they come out of the woodwork to humble brag about their “disorder” whenever it’s brought up.

As crude and unsympathetic as I may seem, I just don’t believe that every person who had stage fright or worried about life is disabled by a neurological disorder. You want to talk about echo chambers, bringing up anxiety is like asking for everyone to tell you their personal crisis story.
