...something wrong with me? When i'm around people, i get really self conscious. But not only that, i can handle it for a little while, but i feel myself "diminishing" when i'm around others. I also feel my mind closing up and feel myself getting into the minds of the people i'm with. And the person i'm with most would be my mom who LITERALLY only has room for ONE thought at a time.. so when i spend too much time with her, i feel like im goinnnn CRAZYYY, like "becoming her," almost.

When I read books, i come alive. And i feel so good. And i feel understood. And i feel like myself. Is there something wrong with me??? PLEASE, could you offer any genuine advice???? Should i just avoid people forever??? Or firgure out a way to be able to be around people too but come back to books to rehabilitate myself?? I'm genuinely confused. Anyone else have this problem?? Thanks <3
