anyone else feel like this? i am overconcerned that people are judging me. in fact, i subconsciously read into things people are saying and twist it so that i am sure they are judging me. even when it is something that has absolutely NOTHING to do with me. as soon as i percieve someone is...

i'm a very serious person and even when i am joking i still come across as dead serious. it's not that i come off in that pretentious deadpan humor way but people can't tell i'm joking at all. they think i am just being my normal serious self and just making bizarre statements. does this happen...

i have a friend (really its more like an aquaintance that i hang out with once or twice a year and keep in contact via net- to be specific!) anyway, she invited me to her birthday get together that was supposed to be this weekend and supposed to be a pool party- which i would've been down with...

everyone says that it doesn't matter what people think of you. it does. everything always depends on what people think of you! people who are wealthy are wealthy because they are ACCEPTED. i have never felt genuinely accepted. * in high school i was on a team (which took a huge amount of balls...

Yeah, I jump when I realize someone is in my 'special personal zone' haha, which is like a 20-ft radius.

i don't know if this is another defense mechanism but i rarely EVER initiate... well, anything. i never call people, i never i.m. people, i never start convos... basically i exist and if someone thinks i am worthwhile they will come to me. then i will engage (probably on a superficial level)...

could we add a new forum? or maybe a few? i'd like to see a board specifically for people with social phobia/anxiety in their 30s. maybe there could be one for teens, 20s, then 40s and up. people in their 30s face completely different social expectations and challenges than people in their teens...

i always have this sense that i am disliked by people. everywhere. everyone. it's this everpresent feeling that people are rolling their eyes at me and scoffing behind my back. even if they seem to like me i'm sure that they say bad things about me behind my back. it's like a 24-7 delusion. it...

is it still in effect?

do you notice patterns for when you frequent this site? are you more likely to visit this site on more anxious days? i notice that i frequent this site a LOT more on work days. on work days my entire day is pretty much ruined with anxiety in dread of work. i guess i come here on those days...

do you frequent negative websites? i have been thinking that my web surfing habits are not good. i tend to bounce between about 10 websites and many of them are just kind of... negative. it's not that the sites themselves are negative but the comments left tend to be...

do you feel extra crazy when you haven't eaten and/or you are tired? i get shakey, feel sick, and i can feel the crazy in my bones. i can kind of sense i might be feeling extra-irrational and it is better to just isolate myself so i don't fly off the handle. i feel it right now hehe

here is a link to a newsweek article. i thought it was pretty interesting: More Than Just 'Quirky' Because they may have different symptoms than boys do, some girls with Asperger's syndrome don't get diagnosed. i seriously wonder if i am one of those girls who have never been diagnosed.

i think i am getting fired. here's the scoop: usually i work 2 nights a week. we are fully staffed and 2 weeks ago they brought in 2 new servers that the owner recruited from other restaurants. he personally hand selected these guys because he thought they were so good. ok. so last week i was...

i am getting older now and i feel like i am becoming a bitch. i always thought of myself as a nice person. so much that i was a doormat. i have always tried to be nice. still i find myself being overly polite when i'm in public- especially at work where i am forced to kiss ass and play the...
