I'm curious of perspectives outside of my own so, anxiety thread. Share your experiences.
Reason I ask is because I'm writing about self deprecative insecurity, and the resulting anxiety. Sometimes self consciousness can be crippling to the point that you narcissistically become obsessed with hating and analysing yourself. Typically, my social anxiety doesn't manifest in the midst of conversation (although it can), but rather in an aftermath of contemplation. If you've ever had a drunken stupor of introspection then you know the feeling.
Also any recommendations on books with themes of anxiety would be great.
Two great works on this kind of thing:

The problem is thinking.
It can't, therefore, be solved with thinking.
There are ways to control and stop thinking. You have to find them.It's called professional help.

Personally not looking for help, but I appreciate it. Just intrigued by anxiety and am curious about other people here opening up with their encounters with it in general.

Anxiety is the dread you feel at having unlimited freedom
