Anxiety is one condition that I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy. It's such a terrifying thing to wake up with cold sweats in the middle of the night and getting panic attacks over the smallest of things.

It's horrible and many people experience it on a daily basis, but what's more popular nowadays it social anxiety. It's not the same as normal anxiety, but it does change your perception of life. 

This is the kind of anxiety you experience when you walk into a room filled with people and you imagine what they think of you. Do they think you look fat? Ugly? Or do they think you don't have a sense of fashion?

It's very real and Jacob Andrews thought it best to design comics that depict this. Jacob is a very well known comic artist that specializes in all areas of life and will sometimes bring some dark humor into his work.

In these 5 comics, he perfectly highlights social anxiety issues that a lot of people face and can relate to on a daily basis. Let's go have a look!

Going to the gym

Walking down the street

Making new friends

At work

Texting people

A lot of people can relate to his comics.

Other people started encouraging the people that do suffer from social anxiety.

Some think it's silly and doesn't fully understand it.

But at least there are some people that are compassionate and try to understand the situation.
