Anyone else here notice a good reason you have social anxiety a lot is because your eating disorder makes you think people will not like you because of how you look?

@meredithgabrielle Almost... I know my social anxiety is fueled by the fear that people wont like me. I am constantly afraid of how others percieve me in social interactions. However my fear comes more from people thinking I'm stupid or incapable rather than people judging how I look. I go to work and my imposter syndrome takes over and I worry that people will realize that I don't belong here. They will realize that I am not good enough and they'll reject me.

It seems like we have different but parallel trains of thought when it comes to our social anxiety. I wish I knew how we could move past it.
