Could you reveal your specific fears that you have while in society, some special obsessions that compel you to avoid dealing with society!?

my fears are like getting rude treatment from not-so deserving people, getting deceived in a deal by someone who thinks they are too smart for this yet they are not, being a butt of someone's jokes or being laughed at, getting mean smiles from strangers as they make fun of how you look or getting in trouble for trivial things etc...

so these were mine, what about of your fears?...please share a little so I can correlate and reduce my fears!! thanks....

edit: hey folks i see people get possessive if asked for sharing something that they may take as humiliating in public or to self-vanity, please feel free at it...this site is for this very purpose...no one will humiliate us, we are all friends....:eek:h:

I absolutely hate making a mistake or not knowing how to do something that I think I should know how to do, and being the butt of someone's joke or being laughed too. I also don't like being complimented, and I hate having to answer questions about some aspect of my life that I feel is not up to society's standards, such as not having a girlfriend, living at my parent's house, and having a job that doesn't pay very well.

thanks for sharing, my friend, i see some folks here sometimes get quite possessive when it comes to sharing something you find humiliating in public...but c'mon we are here on this site for this purpose alone, so even if you see it from a public point of view or feel offended, it shouldn't get you down, share a little, help a little and may be next time when you need support or suggestions...others will help.....:eek:h:




is that it?....c'mon its a cursed thread....lmao....

For me it would fearing how I come across to people, what they think of me, essentially paranoia. This makes any kind of social interaction difficult, as I'm just consumed by what I'm saying, what I'm not saying, body lanuage, eye contact, how close I'm standing ect.

All of the above, plus getting bullied or humiliated, giving awkward eye contact and showing weird body language, having people misunderstand me, people finding out that I have sp, people asking me to repeat what I was saying because they couldn't understand me or couldn't hear me, lone gunmen and violent people.

I offend people without meaning to. This can really be scary, because the anger from others comes with no warning and it is extreme. I make people so angry, they scream and curse. I never know when I will have this effect, and so I am really fearful of it. At 48, I am much more isolated than I have ever been in my life. I know it is n't normal.

I'm afraid of being seen, or heard. So I've gotten really, really got at not getting noticed, and now I'm equally afraid of not being noticed. Also, sarcasm and irony scare me, because I can't understand it most of the time, making me afraid of becoming the butt of people's joke's without even realizing it.

interesting question. right now i have some obsession with negativity vs. positivity, so biggest fear is seeming like a very negative energy that will either repel people or, if they're not repelled, not be a good influence on them. So judgement and guilt. when i enclose myself in my room it's like i'm enclosing a poisonous substance from the rest of mankind. as bad as that sounds

I'm afraid of being looked at or spoken too even if someone comes up to just to say hello it freaks me out it makes it so hard for me to be out in public places because i really do want to meet people and make friends but SA just makes every little gesture, even eye contact with a stranger extremely scary for me.

I worry about what to say to other people, what they think of me, and I also worry about seeing someone I know from school in other public places. The other day I went to a beauty salon and I asked one of the workers there if they do tragus piercings. Every customer turned and looked at me, and the worker didn't speak English very well, so I was stammering for words to explain what I wanted. Later, I went to a few other places. One of them I thought was closed until a woman came out a door from directly behind me and scared me. Later a girl I knew came out that same door. I went to another place and the girl who came to assist me was also another girl I knew from school. That was an awkward day.

I worry about people finding out that I have SP as well. I haven't done well to hide it, since people always point out how quiet I am, but people generally seem to mistake me for having depression, which isn't true.

I'm also self-conscious about my mannerisms, so I can't do some simple things like outstretching my legs when I'm sitting on the ground, taking an item of clothing off in a public place (apart from a hat), etc.

I fear being taunted over a perceived flaw and not being able to defend myself. Receiving unwanted attention, and holding conversations with strangers. What's the pattern here.. oh, assertiveness.

Me too. Sometimes I want to be invisible so that nobody notices me.

eye contact freaks me out, I've almost lost the ability to do it naturally, constantly trying not to appear weird
