Overly Self Conscious

Okay, got the earphones on with blaring music. It does feel a little better. But, I want to keep my hearing. However, you have given me a great idea. Even with my other laptop, which is quiet, I can at times be self conscious. Since it's quiet, I won't have to turn up my music so loud...........Awesome, this will work! I have some major re-installing to do. Ugh.

Believe me.. It's worse when you are in a train and your laptop is loud.. I never use it... because of it.. While I would love to just check my mail or SPW of course ;).

And my Tablet.. Nooo way, because it's sooooo ''attention seeking'' because it is soo big... And people are looking at it.. Sensation... Ooh..:eek:

So dear Imnotmyilness (which is true, good name), You are indeed self concious. WIsh I had the cure.... I am fighting against self concious for four years already. But still I am dealing iwth it... Though sometimes I feel good.. occassionally... But a lot of times , i'm a freezing robot.... sounds funny.. But it's the oposit.

So, if you ever need someone to rant about it.. You can pm me,

And wel...

About self conciousness... You want a solution right? I think maybe it helps to find yourself so distracted that your focus is put on a whole different things than people.. That's a trick , whihc sometimes works... Or try to look at a point for 3 minutes.. Give your self a little challenge...

And with the laptop... Indeed great advice music spider04..

Or earplugs. Orrr......Just don't care and show them how fast you can type...

(Typing) CLUNK CLUNK CLUNK....Thanks Falkor! I thought I was the only one---seems a bit extreme. So glad to hear I'm in good company :). Oh A Train, NO WAY! Especially if someone was sitting next to me (claustrophobia time!) I would turn my back to them (as much as I could) and just surf the internet.

Thank you for the PM invitation. I will definitely take you up on that offer sometime! :)

Thanks Malthael for the info. :) I feel like plugging my laptop into my head so I don't have to type...but that wouldn't work. It would come out as gibberish. I always have 10 different things going on inside my brain. A dozen channels on all at the same time and I'm watching them all.

BRAIN! Stay in the moment. Relax, you cerebral madman!

Yeah, when I use the computer at the library or computer lab, I feel very self-conscious about the keyboard noises that I make. I wonder if I accidentally pressed a key too loudly, will it piss off somebody near me? It feels awkward when I was the only one typing on the keyboard while other people were not. I feel better when I hear other people type because then I can also type without feeling alone.

I also experience lots of anxiety when I am using a computer and someone is sitting straight across from me, using the computer as well. Sometimes our eyes would meet and I would have to look away so that they don't think I'm looking at them.
