Is it normal to walk into a store, want to get something, but just walk out instead?

I feel like people are crowding in on my personal space, even when they are not and I am always worried that I'm in someone's way which makes me feel like I have to rush which makes me more anxious and then I end up picking the wrong present and going around and around in circles because I can't find what I want and I wanted to make buy cards and now my peas are melting and I planned to only spend €50, but I've already got€70 of presents and I still haven't found the thing I wanted and will I have enough?
And then when I finally go to check out, I feel like the cashier is silently judging me. Like "Cards? Really? Who do you have to give cards to? And do you think they will like your present?"
Most times, I walk out after walking around in circles and walking into people, but today my brother shook my shoulders and told me not to worry, that he was there and wouldn't let anything happen to me and I felt brave.

I remember, believe it or not, being your age. It can be super scary. Some day, though, you will get to know a brother you don't now that you have. Then you can always feel brave. Not pie in the sky because he's already living in your heart -- just waiting. You will find that you are way more wonderful than you can think.

@Manfredthemanic Of course you are not terrible. And Inow you know that you are brave. You will find that it will help you if you think as often as possible about when your brother shook you and you felt brave. Many folks, when they want to think of something often, write notes to themselves. In your case, your note would read something like, "I am brave." Now you kmow that you are. You know, being brave is doing something, even if it's scary. If you don't want others reading your notes, you might just put a B on pieces of paper. One on computer, one on mirror, etc. Now you know you are brave. Now I know you are brave. Because you told me so. And yes. You are weird. I am weird. We don't want to be average. We want to be weird.

@Nelladell That made me laugh. 🙈 Yes, I would like to be weird forever as well. But I can still feel a little sad when people make fun of me.

@Manfredthemanic Well, sure it does. Lots of things make us sad. And it's not fair. But that's the wayu it is. But the sadness isn't us. It isn't you. You are brave.

You're carrying around frozen peas?

@Fluffybull Not always, but I like peas and got some, then was sad that they were melting. 🙈 It was supposed to be quick, but I made it longer, but didn't mean to.

@Manfredthemanic I usually leave buying frozen things til last 😊

@Fluffybull Yes, I know, but I wanted them and wasn't supposed to take so long in the store. 🙈
