That I was stuck up and unapproachable. This was told to me after I attended a large event with a crowd of strangers and all I could do was stand by a wall and semi-hide from everyone. I was having a really bad anxiety moment, and this person took the opportunity to point out how shitty I was...
it confuses me so much how some people just expect everyone to just accept all circumstances. like if i see someone doing bad or stuggeling in an enviroument then i would rather change the enviourment then expect the person to change. some people really struggle to change perspectives it seems.
for what it's worth, this person was an abusive a-hole and is no longer in my life. Unfortunately though, I think there are a lot of people with this type of pre-disposition, who do not understand social anxiety, and don't really have any desire to try to understand or accommodate it either.
