Hey, cool seeing you here! Thanks a lot for linking to this comic on your site, that’s how I discovered it a while ago and yeah, it makes me feel less alone too.
I’m a big timesaver, I leave out the getting fixed up part, and go right to the videogame. I’ve been looking at the door the last four hours. Oreos call, I don’t even have to cross the street, but here I sit. :/
I hate getting ready to go out with friends to something and then suddenly my anxiety is so bad it’s just “Nope nope nope!” and then I have to cancel and change into my comfy stay at home clothes and feel bummed all night about my inability to leave the house.
Yikes. This seems familiar. These days I manage to spite that NOPE door and still get out, just because friends keep inviting me out and even if I feel shitty I could never bring myself to cancel. I can never ever go out by myself though.
YEP. It becomes a major accomplishment just to go outside. My door is all, ‘It’s quiet and soothing and easy in here, why bother to unlock me?’ Pretty dang hard to refute it.
I know this door. And the more frequently I stay home from events where I would be seeing friends the more difficult it gets. I start to believe that they think I don’t like them, so best if I don’t go. Knowing that the feeling isn’t rational helps to motivate me to get out but the feeling remains.
Sometime I think “I’m the only one that’s done that.”
God, I thought I was the only one who experience that… I’m glad I’m not alone.
Always a big fan of your work. Please keep it up.
Thank you!
Well, other than the dressy-up part, I sure can relate.

This happens way more often than it should. :/
Huh. I guess that’s part of why I feel so accomplished when I DO get out. Other than the imaginary straps holding me down.
I hate those days. But I’m glad to see I’m not alone.
