Social anxiety
It might be in my imagination or a thought that sticks in my mind, When you walk in a crowded room it’s hard to be able to trust any human of kind .
You smile and walk through the crowd , hoping your silence isn’t too loud . You’re wanting to get to your destination , without anyone bumping into you for what feels like for desperation.
Desperation - to get a glimpse of you , for when you leave the room they talk about stories that are possibly not true .
Everyone starting to assume you’re anti-social, you’re trying to figure out the atmosphere you’re in and avoiding to be vocal .
Everyone in their tiny groups talking , you see their heads turn while the next person’s walking .
You understand why you like to be in a group of few , a tiny circle that you can trust to be true .
This society has gone mad , when you look about you it’s people dragging others down which is so sad . They wonder why you don’t want to mix , all they’re bothered about is getting the gossip fix .
I keep here hoping my silence isn’t to loud , I move myself out the view of the crowd .
I escape and hide away from society ,
enjoy time alone, disconnect from the world ,
people may think this is called social anxiety .

I don't know if it's my age or what, but I find I can't deal with a noisy crowd in a strange pub anymore...I find it very stressful.
