[quote=Anonymous]I think he knows he has friends but is just so sensitive to things. My husband thinks he’s trying to get attention and sympathy from me. I have a pretty bad anxiety disorder myself, but had a very different upbringing (parents died when I was a child) so this is my norm. He’s grown up in a much different environment, a very stable home life, and I’ve put so much effort into making sure he had a sense of self and community and belonging. It hurts that he’s still struggling with the same issues as I am despite my best intentions. I often wonder if I make it worse even talking to him about it and making it bigger than it is. I felt I had to step in when I heard him confront his friends because I didn’t want his anxiety make him act out to friends by getting upset with them. [/quote]
