Description
This is an issue that I deal with occasionally. I'm generally an anxious person, and in university there are a million and one stressors that can make people's lives a living nightmare. I had days, weeks and months where I felt like I couldn't live up to the engineering name and just didn't go to lectures. I believe I blamed it on being lazy, but it's most likely the case of just feeling like I didn't fit in and constantly worrying about it. Having issues with my skin was another great stressor that was pushing me further from stepping outside the house. Aikido was the drive that kept me from basically becoming a worthless potato.
Please, if you feel like shit and you start distancing yourself from the world around you, just speak to your family and friends. It doesn't have to be about your worries. It doesn't have to make sense. Just don't push people away when you need them most.

EDIT: Made a few additions. It felt too light around the border. It wasn't conveying the right message.
