hi
i wanted to share ideas and thoughts about how others deal with the hostility of strangers you may meet on the street if you have a mental health problem. i thought moving from a town to a city might make things easier and it probably does but in recent years i found that people can be hostile although in a mild way towards me because i feel i exhibit mental health problems. a large part of the problem is that i have social phobia and always have had and i cant shake off what people may think of me. it really bothers me and makes it harder for me to go out. the kind of hostility im talking about is pretty mild like people humming and sighing in a fed up sort of way but occassionaly more. anyway your thoughts would be appreciated especially on things which lessen the problem.
