Anthropophobia

Anthropophobia: The fear of people.

_______________________________________________________________

Anxiety doesn’t describe 

how you’re feeling, even doing 

the most simple of tasks

Your hands constantly sweat,

your hands constantly pumps

like an Olympian, 

but the medal you get 

is coated with regret

Simple tasks turn hellish.

Asking for ketchup feels like asking for blood.

Asking for help feels 

like asking for the crown from a King.

Yet they still ask you to “seek help,

be brave.

Don’t fear rejection!”

But you know people won’t see your courage,

only your failure and embarrassment.
