Private Anxiety:
A never ending downwards spiral of you and your self doubt.
A constant fear of being disliked and hating how you look and how people are going to react to you and everything around you.
It never ends but it's almost always kept to yourself.
It's not right, but you've kept it a secret with good intentions of not wanting to hurt people.
"Anxiety" that's posted on Social Media:
A way to feel cared about.
To make sure that people know about what you're "going through"
even though you know it's wrong.
A way to get pity, but not feel guilty about the consequences because no one will ever know it was all a lie.
To make you think that you can be "cool" or "popular" due to so many other people who truly have this serious mental illness that you are faking to make it to the top.
It's wrong and sickening to think that people will fake almost anything these days to get to the top just because fame and money is all they care about.
Fake anxiety// anxiety you fake only in front of your friends:
Fake anxiety is influenced by the people who post about anxiety on social media. It's been broadcasted to so many young people that these kids feel that they have to have it in order to be liked or noticed when that is seriously not the case.
Anxiety is a mental illness I personally don't have, but feel the need to talk about since it's stupid how people my age are cutting, hurting themselves, and talking about having mental illnesses like it's to be taken lightly.
IT'S NOT TO BE TAKEN LIGHTLY AND YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT IT'S NOT RIGHT TO SAY YOU HAVE IT WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ACTUALLY SUFFER FROM IT!
You can stop faking it in a snap of a finger, but these people who have it need medications and therapists and help from doctors who try their hardest to make them better, and yet here you are self-diagnosing yourself in order to get what? Pity, and all this live and attention you shouldn't be getting.
The people who fake anxiety fucking disgust me, it's not right and it should be stopped.
