Anxiety is getting old

[#occupymyanxiety]

I've dug myself into a hole at work. Why can't I just simply say hello to people when I pass their cubicles? I know I come off as a) unfriendly and b) a moody loner, but sometimes I feel powerless to get my shit together. World War I didn't start when someone said "hello" to the Serbian Archduke. Right?

I don't know if this could help, but lately I have been thinking about what Adam Carolla and Dennis Prager say, which is "Not being happy around others is selfish". When I think that I am burdening people unnecessarily with my outward appearance and demeanor, I remember to use a reasonably small amount of energy to be friendly and positive. It is not denying my internal mood, but just being aware of how my thoughtlessness about my outward appearance and demeanor is selfish and a burden to others. I can be true to my internal mood with honest dialog, but still strive to use a reasonably small amount of energy to be friendly and positive.

Just some ideas that I am mulling over in my head. All the best, cheers!
