Thank you @Pebble mouse. It's helped and it keeps helping me from turning against myself for how much this sad thing that happened to a family member has affected me. If that makes sense.
Thanks @AmberMarie. I wish I could give it to the person who needs it. They're suffering and it is terrible for me not to be able to assuage the depth and pressure of it.
I'm putting this quote here after reading it in a book about depression and anxiety. It precisely describes one of the ways in which social anxiety affects me, sometimes.
"When I am in a room with People if I ever am free from speculating on creations of my own brain, then not myself goes home to myself: but the identity of every one in the room begins so to press upon me that I am in a very little time annihilated...:"
- John Keats

"My despair was a pit dug by my own failures, not a remediable medical condition.
... I couldn’t believe my problem was extrinsic. I wanted to die because I was an idiot and could never improve, never move forward or do better—not because I was sick and therefore locked in a skewed perception of the world and myself within it."

Feeling like this could be an incredibly lonely and painful experience. I have felt something similar , had a strong experience regarding this very recently. I hope in your own pace you will see and find , in honesty that you're not as alone as you feel , to some extent atleast. And I don't say this to minimise your feelings but to comfort you , to maybe pass down that you're not crazy , even if you struggle with the pain to believe that. Hugs if wanted.
And if this doesn't help. Nevermind , you can take what you want from here or nothing at all. Wish you healing though.
