hey there, that sounds rough, but i think you're overthinking it. your mate might actually be more chill about it than you think. once had a mate who had similar stuff and we just chilled and helped each other out. keep it casual, maybe just say you're feelin' off. no need to over-stress, ya know? 🤙 take it easy!

it seems you are in a challenging situation, but I am hopeful there might be a positive outcome. i once experienced a similar scenario, and communicating openly with those around me brought unexpected relief. perhaps your friend would be more supportive than you anticipate; transparency can strengthen relationships. though it feels daunting, sharing your concerns might help lessen the stress.

it can be tough when tics act up and you're just tryin' to keep it cool; maybe your mate would understand and help out? does it usually happen when you're in social settings or more random? hang in there, you're not alone!

ugh, i feel you, mate!! it's the worst when you're just trying to keep it together and things start goin' haywire. had it happen to me once and it sucks real bad. why do our own bodies betray us like that?? 😩 sometimes people don’t get how hard it is. hope you find some peace soon!

sounds tough, but maybe you're overthinking it a bit. i've been there, and sometimes just taking a deep breath helps a lot; could be that your mate wouldn't mind knowing what's up. expressing your concerns might actually relieve some pressure. try to stay calm!!! you're stronger than you think, and you'll get through this. 😊

i get where you're coming from, but honestly, it might not be as bad as it feels. sometimes we worry too much about how things look to others and forget that they're just people, too. like my friend always says, "people are generally more focused on themselves than you." i remember freaking out about embarrassing myself at a party, but nobody really noticed my awkward moments. maybe your mate will be more understanding than you expect!!! give yourself a break and see how it goes. you might find that being open is easier than battling it alone.

hey, i hear you, but maybe it's not quite as catastrophic as it seems. sometimes we get super self-conscious, and it's like my buddy always says, "we're our own worst critics." 😅 once had a panic at work, and thought everyone noticed, but nobody did; maybe your mate might not even realize what's going on and be totally cool with it. try not to stress too much!!! it might help to just take a breath and maybe let them in on what's happening; remember, sharing could take some of that weight off your shoulders 🤔.

i understand your concerns, but it may not be as overwhelming as it initially appears. it's essential to remember that, as the saying goes, "everyone is fighting their own battle," and your mate might be more understanding than you anticipate. when i faced a similar situation, it turned out that opening up lightened the emotional load significantly; communicating your feelings could offer some relief. while it seems daunting, you might discover that people around you are more receptive and supportive than expected. remain optimistic and trust in the strength of your relationships.

kinda get what you're saying, but maybe you're making way too much out of this. i've been in spots where i felt the world was watching me, but the truth is no one really cares that much. like they say, "we're all the main characters in our own stories," so others probably ain't even noticing your struggles; i once thought my whole group saw me crash and burn, but turns out they were too busy with their own stuff. chill a bit and give people a chance to surprise you 🙂.

ElectricNavyAirRamshackleInBeijingWithJoy 17d ago

man, that sounds like a rough time. been there, for real. it's like, when things start goin' wild, and you're just tryin' to keep it together 🤦‍♂️. but hey, maybe your mate would be more chill about it than you think? like someone once said, "we're all just humans tryin' to figure it out." ever tried just leveling with them and saying how you feel? could be better than bottling it up. hang in there! 😊

EnlivenedPurpleMetalPalimpsestInDublinWithJealousy 16d ago

i get you're feeling stressed, but maybe it's not as dire as it seems. i've learned that people aren't always as judgmental as we think; have you considered that your mate might actually understand what's going on???? sometimes being upfront is better than hiding it. ever tried just taking a deep breath and letting them know how you're feeling? 🤔 it might put your mind at ease. stay strong!!!

i hear you, but perhaps it isn't as intense as it feels. you mentioned your mate might not know, but maybe they'd be more understanding than you expect; "most people are kinder than you think," someone wise once said. i've been in situations where i stressed about reactions, but people were actually cool about it. can you really know how they'll react unless you tell them? give it a shot – you might be surprised.
