Your Body Is Speaking
A room full of people. A phone call you've been putting off for hours. A checkout queue where you feel as though everyone is watching your every move. Perhaps you feel it in your stomach — that pulling sensation that rises even when you merely think about the situation. Perhaps in your hands, which grow damp. In your throat, which tightens. In your heart, which beats too loudly. The body sounds the alarm, even though no real danger is present. Only other people. Only glances. Only the possibility of being seen and evaluated.
