I think it's interesting that many of the feelings she had when she had to be passive all the time are very similar to how I feel when I'm a little depressed. While her condition was consciously self-imposed, I fear my lack of social contact is a consequence of anxiety around others, but the outward and inward symptoms are similar.
- wvh 12y agoWhile I'm not anxious around others, I don't relate to others easily, and I also feel that her actions and the effects on and reactions of others describe pretty well those times when I am a bit down or depressed myself. What's also interesting is the notion that one loses the ability to define oneself and is at the mercy of others' first impressions and moods, with very differing results depending on the situation and person... People seem to just reflect their own moods or insecurities off of you.
