  Over-apologizing

  One of my teachers recently confronted me about my over-apologetic nature. He knows I have anxiety, but he still told me that I need to stop saying sorry. He used my friends as an example, saying I didn't apologize to them or flinch with them. What he doesn't understand is that I try my hardest to hide my anxiety in front of my friends, but when I'm at school it's a lot harder and it often shines through. When he confronts me about it again (because I know he will), what do I say? Do I tell him...

  For the past few months I've been realizing that I really hate being touched. I'm fine with giving hugs and stuff like that, I just hate receiving them. Every time someone reaches for me, I flinch and throw my hands up. I just feel so certain that they're going to hurt me, even though they're my good friends or family and would never hurt me. It could be because of my dad, since I never knew if he would hug me or hurt me. But why is this anxiety starting now? Why not all my life or something?

  Pyromania sucks, and because so few people have it, I can't tell anyone about the struggles of it. Would anyone here like to talk? I know it's probably just as difficult to communicate the urges to burn for the rest of you.

  I just discovered through my Drama teacher that the program for our show has my name in it. Not my deadname, my preferred name. Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but my grandparents are the ones who will see the show. Not my parents. My grandparents don't understand the concept of they/them pronouns, and I know they won't like my new name. So I asked the Drama teacher to change it, and things just sort of went downhill from there. The fear and anxiety came rushing out, and I started crying....

  Anxiety at rehearsals

  I've never been the type of person to get nervous before a show. I was born to act, and it's my passion. But recently, I've started to get very anxious at rehearsals, to the point where I have to step outside and calm down. Normally, rehearsals are my happy place, but now I can't wait to get out of them. I'm confident in everyone's acting abilities, and it doesn't feel like it has to do with the fact our show is on Friday. Why is this happening? Will it go away when the show is over?
