Fighting Social Anxiety With Photography
Hello Steemians,
Today I forced myself to go to a place where there are so many people, I would normally never go there, but I put myself in a state of mind where I felt completely insignificant in the big scheme of things. I had to, I am very self conscious, and prone to anxiety attacks if I think people are looking at me. I know this is foolish, that even if people do look at me, it's only for a brief moment in time, and therefore does not matter.
Today I am the silent observer
In my town, this is the most expensive college that money can buy! The people that attend this school are considered to be upper class. It was certainly obvious that I was not a student there, but I didn't care.
Enjoy the photos! @futuremind

Hi @futuremind great photos
Hi @mcgrafite Thank you!
👍
Good on you mate, facing your fears head on.
Great pics too!
Thank you for the compliment @philippekiene!
wow! nice pictures, you could have entered quite a few contests...
Thank you @janine-ariane!
I felt like I needed to do this. I did think about the fact that I could have entered contests, but that isn't why I did this. I needed to go out and just jump into the belly of the beast (face some of my issues.)
I appreciate the compliment!
I'm sorry for your social anxiety problems. I hope you'll get rid of it soon. These photos are fantastic, I love the architecture! Well done!
Thank you for your kind wishes and compliment!
Indeed the architecture is truly astounding @erikah
I'm hoping to see more, so I'm following you 😊
You will see more! I was just thinking, I may go to some of the awesome cemeteries around here. My sister caught some full blown aperitions on film. There was simply no denying what she caught. The monuments are out of this world too! Thank you for following. I will have a look at your blog as well!
Thank you so much! I have a challenge called #sevendaysoutside with daily themes. It's no prize but it might help you get a better exposure. Check it out, you might like it 😊
That's a great building, don't know if I would like to go to college there...it looks very strict !
And I don't do well with rules :/
It is strict I am sure! Very expensive school. Stuck up snobby people go there. But the architecture is worth looking at!
True , it looks great but a bit sad for me at the same time .....reminds me of a nunnery I was forced to go wen I was a child ....maybe that's why I get a creepy feeling around it, thinking of the poor little innocent children ....
The building I live in now was a nunnery years ago. And yes, I am sure some of the students there are being somewhat forced by their parents to attend, and chase a dream that isn't their own. Sad indeed.
Yes they don't like artists in a place like that :)
I'm going to sleep now, enjoy your day :)
Good night @vee2180. Thank you for stopping by!
