Me too, can be crippling, emotionally, socially, romantically. Neurotic as fukk, you start imagining this whole other version of reality that is cynical and negative beyond mosts comprehension, it can be really difficult on a number of levels to contend with. Even my Dad doesn't get, and he'll say some really insulting shyt like, 'Just don't let it bother you, or I don't know why you just don't worry about it'. Socially and relationship wise, it's poison, as deceptive and confusing as that world can be, worse with anxiety like that, throw in self esteem issues, and you'll isolate yourself from people, who actually like you, and pass up chances because you can't see anything but the negative responses, as being likely.
