In your eyes, in my eyes

I have always been afraid of socialising, especially in front of a group.

I would anticipate that people would not like what I said or did before socialising;

I would be afraid to express myself for fear of rejection during socialising, and I would be stuck in a long retrospective afterwards.

I refuse to enter new social situations, becoming less skilled at socialising.

I always suspect I am not doing enough because I don't feel that compliments from others are.

I am afraid to voice my opinion for fear of being criticised.

I was always afraid to make eye contact with people, and I would focus on my state rather than the conversation itself.

This inner monologue was the inspiration for my game, creating a view of myself as a socially anxious person.
