I have terrible anxiety, but when people around me are as anxious (or more) than me, I suddenly feel I can push through any anxiety barrier. As far as I'm concerned it's a shift in expectation: going from being expected to be a normal functional social being to being expected to struggle in front of an insurmountable task ahead. It's broader than just anxiety too, but I think this might be what they mean by "mom friend anxiety override"๐Ÿ˜Š

Yep. I can't call Dr's offices for me. I can however inform the manager that my friend's food is done wrong
