They keep asking why I use the van system our college has to go to the store and back when they’ll take me but sometimes the thought of being perceived while having to buy necessities will send me into a panic attack and I don’t even know why. I’ll go shopping with them no problem, looking at fun stuff? That’s fine. Having to get toothpaste? Absolutely not, must be alone
