1.Do you always think your saying or doing something wrong when talking to people?
I can't seem to have a conversation with anyone about anything without thinking that somehow i am improperly getting my point a crossed.

2. when people argue with each other does this make you feel sick?

someone yelling or screaming (arguing) etc makes me want to puke my guts out. The same thing happens when there is "Drama" it drains me and makes me feel sick.


Anyone else have this?

I have a tendency to squarely blame the other person if they're not getting my point. It's probably why I don't have self-esteem issues but I assume it's not as good for my likability.

Drama (especially crying) does make nauseous, but arguing does not.

Do you think you have social anxiety?

1. Not always, but sometimes. If I'm talking to my family I don't, because my family is not judgmental. Also, if I'm in a situation where I know I am expected to be open and give details, then I don't feel that way. I'm comfortable talking to a doctor or, in some cases, my kids' teachers, because I know it's appropriate for me to be open. If I'm talking to people I don't know well, like exchanging pleasantries with a neighbor, then I tend to feel uncomfortable. With some of my kids' teachers I feel that way, too. I always felt like that in job situations, too.

2. I'm rarely around people who argue, but it feels terrible. I wouldn't be able to live with people who yell at each other.

I tend to do the same thing, what usually winds up going on in my head is i think they are stupid, I tend to think quite a lot of people who i talk to are stupid. Even though realize on a rational level that that just can not be. Or maybe it is. arguments drama tension makes me physically sick. I think because i just do not understand it.

All the time - I cannot have a conversation without the constant worry of "What do I say next?" or "Was that OK to say?" and stuff life that.

Don't care - if two other adults want to yell at each other, go right ahead. Just leave me out of it.

Having said the above, I do find drama of ANY kind very draining. I just can't handle the emotionality of the whole thing. This is probably another reason why I hate talking to women because with women, EVERYTHING is a f***ing drama. I prefer to keep my emotional state as smooth and constant as I can manage.
