You don't have to live life how everyone else does, but at the same time society is set up a certain way for a certain reason. Certain walks of life have different consequences. If you are living in the inner city hopped up on meth stealing things for a living just to get more meth, then: 1: Your body is going to deteriorate faster.
2: You may end up in jail.
Living that life isn't desirable in the end, that is probably why the large majority don't choose to live it. The stresses of normal life are much better than life on the street. That's another thing. You say running away and being a drug addict is stress free. It isn't. Instead of stressing over a college exam, you are stressing over finding your next meal. Basically instead of being on the top of this chart, you are on the bottom, satisfying the basic needs of life.
In College, in your job, in a normal life, you are free to express yourself and be you. You have talents and abilities that not a lot of other people posses, just as most people do. On the street, you don't have the freedom and the resources to live the best life you can live or be the best person you can be.
If you think you have anxiety disorders, then why are you keeping it to yourself? That makes it worse. Sit down with your mom, a teacher , or a counselor and tell them that you are feeling stressed on the inside. These people are here for you. They want to help you and achieve the top part of that pyramid and see you strive.
I rambled a bit I guess. I went on random tangents. As always, my inbox is always open to more questions if you want me to give you more random tidbits of and wisdom I may posses.
