Very Strange Question

[MisterWade]

I have a question. I think i might have social anxiety or avoidant personality disorder. I have symptoms of both, but there is one strange thing which happens with me. Sometimes I get this strange feeling that overwhelmes my body. For example, if I'm doing something with people and I get left out or singled out, I get this depressed feeling. But what it does is that it makes my body tingle and a little numb per say. It's like some neuron type of thing is going on and something over takes my body and gives me weird feelings all over. Any ideas what this is?

I know that feeling,to me it is when i realize that the phobia takes place in your head, ie the singling out. Like a realization that it is happening right now. betty

Like I know it is going on and that I shouldn't be feeling that way, but something kicks in and takes over.....

I know exactly how you feel. I find that i say things to myself in my head like 'I'm here too, so why don't you include me in what you are doing. Oh that's right, I forgot, I am invisible and too boring'.......it's negative, self destructive talk but it's hard not to do it. I figure I am not included because I am not giving out as much as what others are and that it's not the other peoples responsibility to make me feel wanted or included but it still hurts anyway. I tend to just walk away with my head down thinking 'Oh whatever'.... and then try and forget about it. Lately I have still been hurt by it but I found that I am more accepting of it and don't dwell on it too much.
