This started off completely different than it ended up. I didn’t expect this piece to get so personal, but it did. I won’t bore you with the beginnings of this but the end result is my way of visualizing what it’s like to have social anxiety. I’m very outgoing both online and if I have to speak in front of large crowds, but otherwise, as many of you know… I’m a hermit. Sometimes, with social anxiety, you feel like you are in a fish bowl and everyone is looking in at you and you peer at them with one eye opened. You feel trapped and almost underwater where it’s murky and just odd feeling. It’s nice to get this one out.

And for ~LordGhost I present, my first wallpaper ;)

Social anxiety "For her first time, =FallenRox has created a wallpaper that leaves the viewer feeling claustrophobic, chilled and deliciously spooked. Easy on the eyes, not busy or too dark. This is a wallpaper I will not tire of." ( Suggested by `oibyrd and Featured by $zilla774 )

I also have SAD. I'm a lot like you as far as online (have you ever heard the song 'online' by Brad Paisley?) and large crowds. Amazing job!

Yeah I understand that feeling soooo well, when you go to school or step out the house, it feels like everyone is watching you and waiting for you to mess up or do something embarrasing. Online its fine cuz hey its anonymous, but out there you feel like breaking down and hiding if someone so much as looks at you for two seconds.
