Do you get uncomfortable around people?

Post Reply New Topic

I feel least lonely when I am alone by myself away from people, just me and God. I shut down and let my mind drift off to space. I find that strange feeling beautiful. People take it away sometimes.

Yes I do, all the time. When I'm online, offline, at a store, outside, etc. I get social anxiety when I'm around people. It causes me to hyperventilate sometimes when I'm near someone or when I'm in a 1 on 1 conversation with a person. Sometimes when I'm out in public I become very angry, annoyed and my misanthropy shows a lot in my facial expression and movement.

I try to hide these things as I would get scolded by my mother. Yes...my mother doesn't care that people make me uncomfortable and expects me to act "normal" when I'm in public. I hate it!

The only times when I'm comfortable with someone is if they are a friend of mine or someone I have crush on (to an extent since I'm usually really shy and nervous around people I really like). Other times I have to keep my mind distracted with other things to cease the sweating and urge to flee a social setting where it's mandatory that I be in... I can't even be comfortable around my mother anymore...

Overall, no. I don't feel discomfort around people. Even if I'm practically sandwiched between seats and bugging me.
But I don't exactly like being around with people either. I'm not always in a mood for being social -- either the serious or the annoying kind of social.


Just because I get uncertain on how to interact with people and what they'd react, that doesn't mean I get uneasy by it. Cluelessness and being uncertain because of it isn't the same as being worried about cluelessness or being pessimistic around people.

Almost constantly, unless I know them well. And even ten sometimes.

Yea, but I do so very badly. There's a lot of things with ASD's that are easy to fix, some are fairly difficult, I feel like this is one of the harder parts. I always seem to have this low rumbling "anxiety" in the back of my mind whenever I'm around anyone and it gets kind of limiting. I don't try things I want to do, I am slow to act in public situations, and I just feel exhausted by the end of it. I don't like staying in the house though, so I usually have to find a way to stifle it.

Theone person I am not uncomfortable around - she recently told me she knows she has Aspergers undiagnosed all her life. It explains alot!

I am pretty sure my best friend from school has it too—
however now she lives in a different country.
I haven’t seen her for years and years.

There is only one person I can spend any amount of time with, as far as I know. With others, averaging over an hour a day of exposure makes it hard to sleep, which makes it hard to get along, so I'm down to a half-hour, etc.
