Bab 247: 220. Witch's Lover's Curse

[Current Favorability: 65]

Dorothy blinked her eyes, gazing at the Centaur Lady opposite her. A favorability prompt like this one popped up in her line of sight.

However, this certainly wasn't a result of her suddenly awakening some charmer's "Golden Finger" system. In fact, this favorability prompt was a Spell she'd handcrafted. It was a magic effect.

The Homebody Witch's Social Anxiety Rescue Spell, that was the true nature of this favorability indicator.

The reason people suffer from social anxiety isn't just because they genuinely can't be bothered with insincere interactions; more often, it stems from not knowing what others truly think. Those with social anxiety care too much about others' opinions of them. They're afraid that something they say, or something they do might upset someone. But without the ability to get immediate feedback, they can only worry pointlessly, which naturally becomes exhausting and leads to them shunning further interaction.
