Having social anxiety is something that so many people deal with on a regular basis. Whether it's not it's going to a party and not knowing anyone, or being too anxious to talk to someone you don't know on the first day of class, to everything in between. YOU ARE NOT ALONE! Here is a list of so many relatable quotes and moments that relate to things some people with social anxiety feel, think, and say, as told by the sidekicks from Disney Pixar Films.
Russell from "UP"
Sometimes, you just don't pick up on key signals from the ones around you about what they do and don't want to hear. And, that's totally okay. I mean, c'mon, who doesn't love Russell just for the fact that he says whatever is on his mind?
Rex from "Toy Story"
Being paranoid that you're bothering everyone around you is one of the most common forms of social anxiety. If you think everything you say just comes off as annoying, you're not alone! Rex questioned everything he did, and he's friends still adore him.
Mike Wazowski from "Monsters, Inc."
When the guy or girl you thought was so attractive drops the, "so who's your friend?" line after talking to you for about 15 minutes...yeah, we've all been there. Just send them to your friend, have a drink, and tell their kids you're the one who get them together. After all, Mike never doubted how romantic he is.
Alfredo Linguini from "Ratatouille"
Well, this pretty much explains it all.
Edna from "The Incredibles"
What you mentally think to yourself when you realize no one is responding to you...Don't take it to personally and relax! Edna never let anything get her down.
Dory from "Finding Nemo"
Channeling your inner Dory when that one person you enjoyed talking to tries to leave.
Fear from "Inside Out"
Finally! The relief you feel when you walk out of any uncomfortable situation relates a little too much to the emotion/character Fear. Everyone has a little bit of fear in them, and that's okay!
