Not sure if this makes sense but I realized that people tend to sell themselves short but from an outside perspective we see them as a much better person than the words we would say to ourselves. I am naturally a very outgoing person but my anxiety with school performance just causes me to go pretty crazy all the time because of the stress/worry levels. I have great friends and I'm a happy person but the anxiety just causes me to be irritable. For example, today I was pretty irritated that I started swearing a bit in the halls when I never actually swear on a daily basis and these staff in the school pointed me out and I just feel annoyed about how they don't understand my anxiety levels and my need to release these emotions in some way. Of course I shouldn't let my anxiety cause me to go irritated/swear but it's just today it happened and I wish they understood more. I'm grateful there is one counsellor in the school I truly trust because of how compassionate she is but others such as my own grade counsellor just don't get it and I'm just irritated today because of how they singled me out to "watch my language"
