Even thoughts could trigger .

I can see that. Even though the medical organizations do not list it as a trigger, when I have thought of very stressful situations in the past, I had some simple partial seizures due to it.

I always suffer from social anxiety especially when I'm in crowds I does be afraid if I do or say something people might think I'm being weird when it comes to social anxiety epilepsy has a massive effect on it epilepsy always interfer with everyone's ability to socialize and most of the time I'm always alone because of it

[@DefeatingEpilepsyFoundation]

It is still challenging for me to socialize. My career has forced me to learn to better socialize, but it took a lot of work. Epilepsy can cause someone to feel very alone. In my teenage years it was the most challenging.
