I've had this happen recently, but for years as well, where I get "snagged" by certain sentences and can't comprehend them to save my soul. What's weird is, I'm primarily a verbal learner, as I have been officially tested (multiple times) as being so in that particular area. As an example of...

I'm wondering if that is the case, though of course there are exceptions, and while I probably have answered my own question at this point, I'm simply looking for input. Thoughts?

I have been feeling this way for quite some time. I perceive myself as completely stupid, and I also can't help thinking that since this thought occurred to me, there must be at least an undercurrent of truth to it. I want to be just like everyone else. Anyone else feel this way?

I've been feeling this way a lot lately, especially having been unemployed for well over a year. The only positive thing I can claim is that I'm doing fairly well in my online classes (too nervous to attend actual classes). Anyway, on top of being unemployed, I don't have any social network to...

I remember after I took an exam out at my community college about a week ago, I was sitting in my car talking on the phone, and someone drove by in a car and seemingly gave me a dirty look. Thoughts on this? I mean, personal experiences. I guess I was having a heated discussion with someone...

Well, I had to take an exam today at the local community college, and while I mostly had little anxiety, which was a shock, I felt that the people I was forced to talk to didn't want to talk to me. When I was in the separate testing room, I could tell two women were laughing out in the other...

Well, aside from all forms of dismemberment, I guess! :p Seriously, I feel incredibly anxious, and since my life is only inching forward in the most mundane of senses, I also am incredibly depressed. I am lacking any hope, and just feel filled with negative emotion the majority of the time...

Every new semester, I'm forced to go to the college campus for whatever reason, even if I'm taking online classes. The past semester, I was able to completely avoid going to the campus, and I did so because of the terrible anxiety. I'm sure I'm not the only one that has done this, but I guess...

The question is in the title. This has happened to me, but I'm not sure how valid such comments are in a (somewhat) sympathetic society. I've been called attractive/hot/cute, etc I still don't have confidence. I used to be self-conscious about my wafer-thin physique, but I've definitely...

I'm pushing 27 (little over a month), and still, I don't have any experience with women. Although, I've been isolating myself pretty heavily the past several months since I lost my job, so I wasn't expecting successes in that area. I'm not the most outgoing person, I actually have severe anxiety...

I was waiting at the intersection to turn right, I let this car go before me and I was keeping my gaze on the car so I could turn afterwards. The woman in the passenger seat then stared at me and smiled as the car went through the intersection, and then made the next possible turn. I was...

I was coming down the steps from my apartment, in my own thoughts, and was shocked when somebody else was coming up the stairway. I think I visibly shook, and said an awkward "hey, how's it going?" I'll probably ruminate over that for awhile. I was just not expecting that, I don't encounter...

Well, do you?

I've been consume with this sense of fatalism for awhile now, it's depressing because at this age I'm unlikely to change. Anyone else feel the same (well, of course there are plenty, but speak up!).

So, I've been living in an apartment building for about two months now, and I don't have a job anymore. I'm not sure if it's my social anxiety, but I just can't focus with all the constant yammering in the parking lot below (and the street facing the apt building). Not only that, but such...

And by fears, I mean of course "social phobia" but also more specifically fears of intimate relationships. I just wonder what the success rate is.

I know I am, and I'm definitely sure that other people have a negative view of me after they sense that. Thoughts and/or experiences with this?

I've had this "problem" being uncomfortable with women approaching me, this seems like bragging but it really isn't. I'm really not at all confident, the more attractive the women the more nervous I get. Especially if it's a girl I've never met before and it's a random question. I'd like to...

Whispering bothers me, for some reason. I know that's because a possibility occurs that it could be about me, negatively. I know sometimes whispering can be benign, but this probably isn't true most of the time, is it? (rhetorical). Does anyone else have this problem? As in, ruminating over...

This happens to me on occasion, I'll be confident for seemingly no reason at all, perhaps it's a chemical thing, or maybe a non-awkward interaction I had. The most recent thing that exemplifies this was when I went to a drug store and to pick up some hygiene stuff. The cashier at the register...
