I went to a gas station before work to buy a few supplies, just minding my own business. Well, anyway, a woman comes up to me (about 35 or so), said "can you do me a huge favor, and get something down for me" I figured no harm so I grabbed her a six pack off the top shelf. She was telling me...

When at college, do you ever feel that even the teachers secretly despise you?

I think creativity is a double-edged sword sometimes. Well, a lot of times actually, I feel like it makes me slightly paranoid/overly anxious. At work tonight, I thought some of the workers on third shift were laughing at me, and a girl walked by me later on, with one hand over her mouth like...

I started college a few weeks ago, and it has been the most nerve-wracking experience. It's really opened my eyes into how socially maladjusted I have become. Every time I am walking around campus, I feel like I am being laughed at, and of course this makes my trepidation that much worse...

Been awhile since my last post, so anyway, I've been feeling like I am having a hard time communicating with others, especially out loud. As if I can't find the correct words/tenses, etc when I am speaking. It's strange. I'm not sure if this is due to my nervousness around people, or what...

Arrogance seems to be a common occurrence in the world today. I've encountered people who automatically think they are better at me in a specific area (without even proper discourse), or just in general. I can honestly say it effects me quite a bit. Anyone else concerned when someone acts...

I've heard you can take the ACTs after high school. Because of certain anxiety issues I didn't complete the testing, so how would I go about doing this?

I'll be honest, my most persistent and encompassing fear is others thinking I am stupid. I've been called "pretty smart" by more than a few people, by their own admission and it was not something I've asked. Still, I feel like some individuals perceive me as stupid, and it really bothers me...

So, I was at work yesterday and I was conversing with someone in the break room, asking "What is stupider?" when of course the proper grammatical thing to say is "What is more stupid?" (someone else in that room also politely suggested that, and of course they were right). Now I'm just worried...

I don't know how to word even this post, I was just sitting here trying to come up with the words. I feel drained of all intellectual ability (this might seem like a coincidence given my most recent thread, but it just got me thinking about a problem I have been having all along). I developed a...

I dunno, I've had thoughts of suicide lately. I'm 23, never experienced a relationship, barely had friends growing up because I was too wrapped up in my own head. I missed out of the prime of life, that's my own fault and I don't expect or want pity. I just want someone to...empathize I...

I am so frustrated right now, it's not even funny! Part of it is just a random irritability because I am so lonely. Even though I am moving in with some roommates in about a week, and things might be looking up. But, a large part of frustration comes from this girl, who I work with (posted...

Every time someone says "No!" really loudly, usually a woman, I always think they are talking about me. As in, I always assume someone else is teasing them about me, and they are insulted by it, presumably. I can never confirm these thoughts, but this happened today and I felt very bad for...

I'm starting to think I have this, I almost completely avoid situations that give me anxiety. I can barely have a conversation with a girl my age, let alone initiate one. If its someone I don't know, not gonna happen. Well, very rarely. And you can forget public speaking (I know thats a...

Well, I got hit by a car yesterday at work, in the parking lot. It seems I am fine, but all I can think about is how stupid everyone will think I am (the person who hits me works there too) if they find out. God, I am screwed up! For allowing that to happen, and worrying what people are going...

Well, this random memory popped into my head today (have too much time to think). Bascically this co-worker, (a dude), was commenting on these two girls and said something like "they were light years out of our league" or something...I heard him saying that to somebody else, I think. I was...

So, this is sort of a spin off of my other thread. But, when a girl you don't even know (complete stranger) smiles at you (from a few feet away or whatever) is this a sign she likes you, can it be construed as mocking? I'm always afraid to flirt b/c I don't want to misinterpret the signals.

Well, I said "hi" to someone at work, I didn't even think about it just did it. It felt good, and I think it had to do with the fact that I started taking Seroquel four days prior. I don't like being on medication, but it seems like its the only way to calm my nerves enough to interact with...

Maybe I am reading too much into this, but at work tonight I was paged up to the registers,a girl handed me a phone, I thought she wanted me to turn it into the "lost and found" bin or whatever, I took it, and she asked if it was mine. I said it wasn't, but she insisted it was (even after saying...
