Hello guys I have a problem. My name is Danny and I am in highschool.
For some reason I get intimidated very easily by things that should be normal for most people and as a result my heart rate starts to go up and I begin trembling.
The first example was when I went to play basketball with some of my friends. My heartbeat begins to rise and I get this overwhelming feeling of death.
Another example is when my friend Alicia who I hadn't seen for 1 year called me asking to visit my house. I began to experience the same thing.
The next example is when I joined track my freshman year of high school. Whenever we would do a track race just before the coach yelled GO I would experience the same thing.
About 15 times I've performed in front of an audience as a guitar player and each time I felt the same thing. I figured that if I did it more often then the feeling would go away but it still hasn't left.
Another time I was performing a talk show presentation in front of my class and I felt the same thing.
Another example is whenever I hit the record button on my computer to record a guitar track for a song I get really nervous.
Perhaps the most pathetic example is when I'm around other guitar players and they ask me to play something I always end up with the same feeling.
I don't have many friends but people know of my existence. Whenever I'm at school I'm in my own personal bubble. I don't get scared talking to people except for the people that hold some type of authority. I don't have many social skills as a result of not being around people most the time but even so I don't think that it's social anxiety because I'm not scared of talking to normal people. Then again I'm not a psychologist or a doctor so I'm really lost.
Another fact is that I hardly go out during breaks or on weekends. I spend a lot of time by myself reading books, playing guitar, and producing music on my computer.
Does anyone know what my disorder is and have any advice on how to get it cured?
