One thing that I hate the most about my anxiety is how horribly self aware I am. I realise I get stuck in these vicious anxiety circles that keeping make each other worse and was wondering if any of you experience something similar or what you do to help.

I was thinking about last night how I can't seem to accept that I am a genuine positive influence on someones life (which is sad) and how I think this has damaged all my friendships/relationships in the past.

If you assume everyone hates you, or find you annoying, than you're not going to act great around them, which leads people to get a weird vibe off you, think you're rude for not asking questions or etc stuff like that, and then when there's ONE tiny thing someone says or does that makes it seem like they don't like you or whatever it's served as proof that all my other anxietys are proof too. Now that just makes my anxiety even worse and it's this horrible cycle.

I've spent various years learning and developing methods (Thoughts are not fact is a main one) but I've found it helps me do things but that mental anguish is always there. Tips from people with similar interests welcome &lt;3
