['My social anxiety kicked up the other day while paying for groceries and I failed at doing basic math in my hand due to my nerves. I ended up giving the wrong amount of money.', "It's okay. People are very understanding. Did you underpay? I'm sure it happens all the time!", "Yup, I did! And I'm usually very good at math. When my anxiety acts up, it's like my brain just goes blank."]
We all have those moments! Sometimes you just have to shake it out of your mind and take a deep breath.
My social anxiety acted up and I failed at doing basic math in my head when paying the cashier and looked like an idiot!
