School Outfit

Do people really believe that anxiety makes you look cool or attractive or is it that they would like attention for being "different?" I ask because people seem to ask me about my anxiety and then repeat the behaviors I exhibit or tell them about. I mean sure go and wash your hand several times a day to make yourself cool and interesting, and not because you are terrified of being sick or getting an infection. Sure, don't go to class because it's cool, and not because you are terrified of your teacher calling on you. I mean it's absurd how many people do this and think this will get them some form of popularity. I think that's why people become passive about these things because people think its cool and trendy to have these thoughts or do these actions. This is why I don't open up to many people because I don't want people to feel as though I'm copying someone else's behavior. I mean when I open up to people I get responses that make me feel like a freak and a burden. I can't wrap my head around the fact people would want to feel like that. It's weird.
