I have a question for the community.....
| Sat, 06-25-2005 - 1:04am |
Terry (the button) said something that I feel is significant about a lot of people with anxiety and I used to feel this way myself.

I feel that way too, I guess I am self-conscious and I have a hard time looking people in the eye. It is weird tho because as a teen I was not this way at all, I was very extremely outgoing, wild and crazy. I don't know what happened to me along the way.
But I would like to know if others feel this way too, (I too, thought it was just me, so this is a great question!)
I hope you and Dh are having a nice evening, so glad to see you post, always thinking of you! hugs, shasta
I have always been self-conscious. More so in high school than @
I know exactly the feeling you're describing. In college I skipped class regularly because I felt awkward walking from the dorm to campus, I always thought people were staring at me and judging me. I know its irrational, we don't look at others that closely, so why would anyone look at us that closely? I try to remind my self of that evertime a bout of self doubt hits me. I think people are generally aloof to those around them, and maybe even a bit self absorbed. I also think that there is an element of social phobia to the feeling you're describing. but it does happen to a lot of people, even those without anxiety!

Many times I noticed it went away then other times I would
take 30 minutes to find something to wear into the yard!! LOL
Now come on like the trees care???
Getting ready for work was insane!! Some days like I said
I was fine but others were awful---- I still feel this way
I have certain things I wear when I feel this feelings
comfort clothes???
I used to freak out getting my hair cut now I just go with it!
I think it must be either hormones or serotonin since it comes
and goes!
Open house at school the same thing sometimes I could barely speak to
the parents other times I was joking and laughing!!
Katie--- we all have wierd thoughts and perceptions of things around
us don't get too into doing that!!
The other thing My daughter is a knock out and when I go out with her
forget it I could be naked and no one would notice!! Well actually they
would probaly load me on the truck to put me back at sea- (whale)
She by the way has the same issues!! GO FIGURE??
well hopefull I made someone laugh or something!!
