I'm getting agoraphobia, I know it
I'm so glad I'm not living in America where guns are legalised, because then I'll never go out or send my kids to school if I had kids.
"Grow a thicker skin" means "social anxiety and PTSD doesn't exist or is easily cured". I am going to therapy about this, so hopefully that will help. It's not just something I can get over.
I remember one time I was on the escalator in primark (years ago). There was two girls in front of me. One turned around and saw me. She immediately turned to fer friend, whispered something and they both turned back around, looked me up and down and started laughing. There was absolutely nothing wrong with what I looked like. I went home and worried about it for quite a long time until I remembered that actually I've been through too much in my life to allow these two people to own me in this way.
I also have ptsd, it's actually really serious so I know how things can get in your head.
I've had that happen a few times with girls, and each time it happened it just fueled my social anxiety. It happened regularly at high school, but I was less aware of my actions back then and probably did look weird. But as I've grown older I've developed much better social skills to the level of NT really, or maybe an NT with social anxiety. I don't walk around with an odd gait or biting my nails nervously, like I used to when I was 13. I don't expect to be treated as a target any more, and the way people have been with me in public gives me a reason to worry that I look stupid or like an easy target, which could then increase the chances of me becoming a perfect target for violent gangs to pick on.

To say that guns are "legalised" is untrue in much of the United States.
In New York City, a person must go through a very stringent licensing procedure in order to obtain a permit to have a gun. If you travel from Texas, where guns are easier to get, and get caught with a gun without a New York license, you can potentially get 7 years in prison. At one time, there was a minimum 1 year sentence for someone who possessed a loaded, unlicensed gun in New York; I'm not sure if that still is in effect. Still, it's VERY illegal to own an unlicensed gun in much of the Northeast.

If you have ptsd then some of what you are experiencing could be down to that. I experienced severe anxiety and psychosis at one place of work. I was actually going through ptsd flashbacks that were sparked off by just a tiny thing that someone said and it just brought back all these terrifying emotions and memories from things that I had actually forgotten about from years ago. Maybe you are experiencing something of a similar thing.
Ptsd is a really powerful mental illness so I'm glad you're getting therapy for it.

look they just make themselves look stupid but don't realise it
pity them

It’s all in your head, and you’re hyperalert.
Yes. And I believe people who judge you are idiots, too, with nothing better to do.
That’s how I feel about people who go around looking at people for flaws.
I also believe, and it’s been proven by my observations, that most people really don’t give a rat’s butt about things beyond their immediate existence.
I used to have social anxiety. I couldn’t get agoraphobia because I hated being in my home when I was a kid.
you're funny and you write well
its coming from someone published...yes believe it or not I had poetry published...
oddly
my essays at uni I was told were beautifly written and very well argued
I know a Good writer when I see one

but you really do write very well
you could be so very sweet
stop hating yourself please xx
