I had the weirdest experience at work the other day.I thought I heard another speaking negatively of me. I couldn't be certain that's what I heard, but it got me mad. After that, I went about my work while feeling angry. For one thing the irritation made me work harder, for some reason.But - usually I am socially awkward and self-conscious. Whenever I am walking past or working in the presence of coworkers I feel a sense of discomfort.While I was angry, though, I just stopped caring. I simply walked past people without feeling the need to look at or acknowledge them or smile, worrying whether they would think I'm rude if I didn't do it correctly. I barely paid any attention to other people. I just concentrated on what I was doing, not really caring what they thought. I wasn't being an ass, either. If someone said something to me I was amiacble. I just didn't feel the need to be cringingly polite to them out of fear of causing them to dislike me.Oh boy, that was a freeing feeling. Of course, after that anger passed I returned to my normal anxious state.Is this what it is like to not be socially anxious? Do I just need someone following me around throwing insults for the rest of my life?
Prolonged anger causes brain damage.
>>33665305Yup that's how it works, anger temporarily uncucks your brain, mostly. As you gradually fix the external and internal shit that's causing the anxiety (including better processing past shit), you'll experience that state with less or even no anger needed
>>33665341Interesting. So I need to find myself ways to get angry until that happens?Strange thing is I've never noticed this before when I've gotten angry. I don't get angry at other people in that way very often but I do get angry with things
>>33665322prolonged living causes brain damage as well
People also exhaust themselves from exercise to get rid of social anxiety
you can only feel one thing at the time. the problem with anger is that you'll lose the energy you acquired eating food if you become angry, even for a moment
>>33666338Interesting idea.I do generally feel better in a variety of ways after exercise, though I usually ascribe that to other reasons
>>33665322no it doesn't tranny
I experienced that except with extreme sadness. I simply did not care, granted it only lasted for a week.
