WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?


Question Posted Saturday February 24 2007, 11:06 pm

So whenever I go in public (especially for rehearsals with my theater group) I feel like people are looking at me differently than they look at other people- and it makes me feel really exposed and vulnerable and then I start freaking out. They all ask me "What's wrong?" or "are you okay" and I really don't see why. It's probably because of my facial expression- which is usually depressed (I try not to look depressed but it doesn't work.)

And then I feel like people are looking at me for the rest of the day- even when I'm at home. (with no one else around)

FYI: I'm not a "pubescent" teen... i've passed all that crap so i don't know what's up with me.

Well I would tell you to see a specialist on anxiety. but they'd only put you on anti-depressants. Which, that's a load of crap.
When someone asks you whats wrong. think of something witty to say. like "My hot dog got hit by a car last night." or "My brother's hamster think's I'm superman." Just something to make them laugh. Laughing is a great medicine. It'll lift both their spirit, your spirit, and make people around you laugh... basically it'll put you in a happy setting. and when you are, you're less likely to be paranoid.

Plus It'll give you the impression of a more go-with-the-flow kind of person. and people will admire that.

It's great that you're trying to find the answer. I think you should look at Social Anxiety Disorder in Wikipedia and here:

Maybe that's not it. If not, then keep looking.

its just paranoia, don't worry, i'm the queen of paranoia, there is absolutely nothing wrong with you. but if the feeling bothers you which it seems to be see a doctor and maybe they can prescribe something for anxiety/paranoia, it'll help ,make you feel better
