Anxiety Makes Me Awkward

Hello everyone,

I am sharing this here to hopefully make some of the embarrassment go away. I am currently buying a house. I am a first time homebuyer and I am a single person so I am handling all the many, many, MANY tasks that come with it solo. I think the combination of arranging logistics, cleaning, packing, and crunching numbers over the last month or so has left me a bit… frazzled. I think my realtor picked up on it. I was really worried when I couldn’t get a document signed and she advised me to take a deep breath it would be okay (not in an unkind way!). I think that moment made me realize how stressed out I have been lately and now I’m just hoping I wasn’t too weird over the course of this.

Nothing can really be done about this. Hoping the embarrassment passes quickly. Thanks for listening!

oh thats nothing to be embarrassed about. at least she was kind

Yo, congrats for buying a house in this worlds economy, what is your job?

Thanks for the reassurance. In the moment I felt like I must be acting nuts, but looking back it doesn’t seem quite so bad.

Thank you! I write product descriptions for a website. I’ve been saving up for a LONG time! Very excited for it all to come together!

That sounds like a job i would have, how did you get it?

dont worry. we all freak out sometimes. anxiety can feel embarrassing to us, but not to the person helping us. they are only to happy to help

I have an English degree and initially thought I was going to into publishing. Turns out not a ton of jobs in that field lol! So I started looking for other “writing” jobs and this is where I ended up.

How did you find that? Seems very specific
