The Kilt and Anxiety
Hey guys.
I have social anxiety and have panic attacks. I LOVE being kilted and the comfort that comes with it. I have the desire to wear my kilts to the pub, to dinner with the wife and nights out. I can also say I handle the attention I get when I go out both positive and negative.
My problem is strapping the darn things on and getting out the door.
For example I wanted to go to the pub with my buddy who knows I kilt up now and then and doesn't say anything negative. I got all kilted up nervous the entire time I was getting dressed. I was trying to cowboy up and just do it. I came down stairs and my wife said 'you look good. I like that kilt'. I was ready to go but my own mind made me feel like I was wearing a French maid lingerie outfit. I went and tossed on my best pair of jeans and went to the pub.
Has anyone else had this feeling. How did/do you overcome?
