    What a strange thing to hate. It makes you angry when people struggle with social anxiety?

      Sometimes, yeah.

      Or, specifically, I can’t stand the people who constantly post about how they have social anxiety in a public place for attention (which seems like the opposite of what they would want) and have this whole persona of a “smol widdle sad bean 8c I’d wather wet people die den tawk to dem”.

      I’ve had to deal with a lot of toxic, manipulative people who use their identity of having “social anxiety” as a way to manipulate and control others. “I am so weak and tired from talking and anxious, we should go back to the hotel right now and if we don’t I’m going to throw a fit!” Doesn’t matter if it’s the funeral for their partner’s dad and said partner hasn’t seen their family in years because they live far away and it’s really important for them to get closure, naw, the anxiety is more important so we gotta leave NOW.

      So yeah, I don’t like some socially anxious people. And I hate people who have attitudes like this comic, because for some people, it’s not hyperbole, they are that selfish and self centered.
