Poem
The character trait I'm portraying is not those mentioned. It's the running narrative anxiety causes.

The secondary comments are lifted from things my friends say. So somewhere in-between is maybe the more accurate picture.

I'm not sure how other people deal with anxiety but I argue with it and try and just push through, but it doesn't go away regardless of how I act on the outside.

Sorry it's long... If it wasn't I'd write the after verse to the positive comments, the 'feel good' followed by the 'what if' followed by the slump.

I have nothing to offer
Dragging everyone down
Why did I come out
With my miserable frown

She brings fun and daring 
Lights up the place
Elevates the jokes
She's ours and she's ace

I'm being too weird
Doing my own head in
Why can't I act normal
I need putting in the bin

I love how you spin things 
See things differently
That's just too funny
You're making me pee!

I've said too much
I've crossed the line
Just say what's expected 
Reply with 'I'm fine'

I'm glad you spoke
It made my day
I shared it with my family
You helped take some hurt away

I'm embarrassing myself
Why do I continue to speak
Everyone knows more than me
My contribution is weak

Excellent thoughts
I agree with everything you've said
I'm glad of your insights
You've clearly thought ahead

The way I look, the way I act
I'm so ashamed and scared
I just wish I was normal
I don't fare well compared

The way you look, the way you act
Unapologetically completely you
I stand in admiration 
I wish I could do what you can do

 I wake up screaming
Thinking there's something I forgot
Worried I'm nothing
Everything will go to pot

You remember everything
My Rolodex mate
You remember details I've forgot 
See how things correlate

I'm missing cues
Just an awkward fool
How can they stand me
I'm breaching a golden rule

You're emotionally intelligent
Your worth you don't know
You're kind and you're caring
Your love you show

I'm interfering
By giving my view
I need to stay out of it
They can work it through

What a problem solver!
You know what to do
You eloquently reframe
I don't know how to thank you

I bet everyone wants to ditch me
Kick me into touch
I'm just so difficult to know
They can't like me much

Here's the advance date
I really hope you're there
Let's travel together
You're unique, we love your flair
