On the topic of anxiety I have my own condition that people take the piss out of. I have tourette syndrome. I dont swear all the time like people would presume. It's mainly facial tics (at the end of the day my face can ache like
duck because it's not stopped moving all the God damn day). If people meet me knowing I have tourettes before hand I can see them looking and waiting for me to do something. If they dont know I have it and later explain why I'm winking at them I get the age old "but tourettes is swearing and you're not swearing I saw a programme on it once and it was so funny" (that's a whole other rant). There are times I will vocally do something. My tourettes is usually racist which tbh I'd rather shout
bleep than "the n word" in public and I'm constantly shitting myself that I'll be in a public space and shout that word or anything else equally as vile as that and can make me avoid public places. Then you get those people who will say a swear word and then laugh and say "oh I must have tourettes" same with ocd people who like to be clean and say "oh I must be ocd". Honest to God I wish I could make my condition contagious and give it to the next person who makes a joke out of it and they can walk a mile I'm my shoes
