Don't get me wrong, everybody panics. Trust me, I panic all the time. But this person, this person panics if there isn't enough homework, or not enough notes, or if they are a minute before the bell. This person panics if their friend doesn't answer them immediately. It's not always about absolute panic. Sometimes, you just freak out. Most times it's over things that don't even matter. You don't eat breakfast? It's the end of the world for them. Key word, them. They panic for you. Everything gets to them. Most likely it isn't even their problems that they worry about.
It's yours. You don't get your homework done and they start to panic for you. They jump to conclusions as to what is going to happen to you. They tell you that you are going to fail the class. They panic over the small things. They panic over the things that don't matter. They make the worst out of every situation. Once one things starts to fall apart, so does the rest of the world. Panic Freaks live in a world of fear. Don't act like you don't know what I am talking about. You've all been there. I know you have.
There's a big semester project worth eighty points of the grade and you only have two days or less to finish it. Fail this assignment and you might as well fail the class. Lost your car keys? You tear your house apart thinking you dropped them in the couch or left them in a cupboard or even threw them away. But then you realize they were in your bag the whole time anyways. Don't pretend that you've never done such a thing. I know you. I live with you. I see you on the streets. I pass you in the school hallways. I've seen you. I've panicked too. But these people, they don't know when to stop. If things don't go as planned, they'll melt like a witch in water. One thing bad happened during the day and they cry themselves to sleep.
Don't feel sorry for them. Dont't. It will only make your situation worse. Show them pity or try to calm them down and you are stuck with them. That's how I met my best friend. I didn't know what I was doing. I was just trying to help someone out. It turned out that she would follow me around everywhere for almost two years before I finally accepted and became friends with her. It takes some adjustment. Lucky for her, I calmed her down. All of you though, you won't be that lucky. Just stay away from it. Run for help instead of actually giving help. "But that's not being a good person."
Oh please. Don't even give me that bull crap. Whether you think you're a good person or not, saving someone from a panic attack isn't going to determine if you go to heaven or hell... if you believe in that stuff. No one will notice anyways. They would all be too busy staring, (just like you) trying to figure out who would be most responsible to figure out the situation. Everyone needs to panic. But when you panic over everything, something is wrong. Something isn't right. I swear people who panic on a daily basis over think everything and make every possible situation worse. It's like they want to make the world burn.
As if they don't put others through enough already.
