In a viral TikTok video, a 30-year-old man named Freddie (@petobsessed777), offered a comedic yet relatable glimpse into the world of individuals battling social anxiety, particularly when it comes to ordering food. Shot in his car, Freddie shared his unique method of navigating the daunting task of placing an order at a drive-thru with social anxiety in full swing.

With meticulous preparation evident, Freddie unveiled his ingenious solution—a set of three detailed scripts affixed to his visor and mirror, serving as his lifeline through the ordering process. "I'm scared of ordering food. This is how I order as a 30-year-old with social anxiety," he quipped, setting the stage for his audience to witness his scripted interaction with the drive-thru attendant.

Every aspect of the exchange, from the initial greeting to the final expression of gratitude, was written on paper, ensuring Freddie's smooth progression through the dialogue. "Hello, can I get a McChicken?" he recited, following the prompts on his script.

Even anticipated follow-up questions received pre-written responses, demonstrating the individual's dedication to circumventing the challenges posed by his condition.

After Freddie's initial response, he proceeded to outline the specifics of his order. "No mayonnaise or sauce," he stated. With a touch of humor, he added, "Ketchup," as he started to feel the awkwardness of the conversation and the impending follow-up questions.

Consulting his scripted prompts, he quickly determined his next move. When the server inquired about any additional modifications or additions to his order, Freddie wasted no time in responding, delivering his lines with robotic precision: "More ketchup please." With each interaction, he felt closer to winning over his social anxiety and securing his desired meal.

Towards the end, Freddie uttered his final line, signaling his departure from the drive-thru to collect his order. "That's all, thank you," he said. At first glance, it might seem that his only remaining task was to retrieve his order and depart.

However, for those grappling with social anxiety, another daunting challenge awaited: speaking at the pickup station. "I forgot to prepare a script for what to say at the pickup window. I drove away without my order," he confessed.
