Attached and Clingy?

Do you see yourself attached and clingy? What are you attached to? Is it perfectionist? Are you trying to make things perfect as they are? Are you worried and anxious when you are in a crowded place? Do you get that inner child feeling when you feel people are there to get you and they don’t make any sense of you?

Well, to be honest, I have got this social anxiety from a very young age. Whenever I meet crowds of people, I think: Oh where I need to go? What shall I do? How shall I talk?

Then I remember Surat An’ Nas where Allah reminds us that people are people. They are people who have a God, Creator and Lord.

And people including yourself have got this negative whisper trying to instill in you negative thoughts or misleading ideas.

Be aware of that and keep reflecting, challenging, questioning and asking.
