Some tasks just seem to be impossible. Even simple mundane things such as calling or asking for help at a store can make your heart race, boost your anxiety, and be morally exhausting. Everyone has that one thing that makes them nervous and no matter how many times they do it—it doesn‘t seem to get any easier. What‘s your thing? Share down below!
You can also share how you deal with this feeling and perhaps it‘ll help someone to overcome it!

Waking up. Beats the alternative I suppose but...still.

Meeting new people. Going anywhere by myself. Making a phone call.

Talking on the phone. More precisely, making phone calls. I have anxiety over receiving calls but not nearly as bad as it is when I have to make a call. It absolutely terrifies me & I’m not sure why. I’ve had phone-anxiety for as long as I can remember. When email came about & later, texting, I was ecstatic. I feel like an idiot for having a fear of the phone. Speaking of which, I have to make a few phone calls now & stop procrastinating on BP.

Having to call someone I really don’t want to speak to, but need to. I always hope for a voicemail so I can just explain what I need without having to converse.

Driving my vehicle on the ramps over an oil change pit. Every single time, it stresses me out.

Walking in public by myself. Always makes me feel like I'm being judged by someone, all the time

I get nervous anytime I go onto my virtual classes, I think, "Did I do this assignment? Is this due? Did I do all my math homework?" I almost always have this feeling of dread in my stomach that's hard to get rid of. I have been doing virtual with my class since April but it still makes me nervous when I have big projects coming up.

I'm a shaking nervous thing every single lone masquerade/stage performance I do. Thing is, I would do them multiple times a year, doesn't get any easier leading up to them. Afterwards however you just want to run back up there ^^;

Playing at a concert, even though I have been practicing and mastering piano for over 10 years. It still makes me fall into a nervous wreck right before I get onto stage.

Packing luggage: no matter if it's a job trip or just holidays.
NOTA: it never happens when packing for a motorbike ride.

Airline travel. I was in a near-crash situation 20 years ago, complete with dumping the fuel (a plane cannot land on a full tank), crash positions (men have to remove neckties and women their high-heeled shoes because they are a danger if the plane rolls), and the pilot yelling “Brace! Brace! Brace!” all the way down. Since then, it takes prescription anxiety medication to get me to set foot on a plane.

I almost always get nervous when I speak or answer questions. I will "freeze up" and I'll be unable to answer. Then, if the person asking the question keeps insisting for an answer, I start panicking, and most of the time, people just want an answer from me, even though they can see that I clearly am unable to speak, so they will raise their voices/yell, and it just makes me panic more.

With my generalised anxiety disorder it's the weirdest things. But I'm (slowly)getting better.
