so i've had some abnormal things about my personality for my whole life and sometimes i wonder if it means that I have OCD or social anxiety or something else like that... I'll tell all here:
1. I'm so inhibited and self-conscious that I can't do ANYTHING around anyone else, especially eating (unless it's a meal where every single person is eating and i'm not around any adults of people who i don't feel 100% comfortable around) and if i'm having a snack at a rehearsal (aspiring stage actress) i'll usually feel so uncomfortable trying to eat it in the open that i'll have to go and run into a bathroom stall.
2.I never think about anything that's going on in the room that I'm in- for example if i'm sitting in a rehearsal and no scenes that i'm in are currently being rehearsed(but even if they ARE, i still do this a lot and i can't focus on it) i'll just zone out and think about something irrelevant (it's always a musical) and become so lost in it that someone has to startle me to get me out of it. And I do this very frequently.
3. I can't carry on a conversation. It gets too awkward and I'm so consumed in wondering about what the other person might be thinking about me that I can't say anything else.
4. i'm always upset/worried about something. even if there isn't a huge reason to be upset. my face naturally looks really sad, and when i look in the mirror when i'm off-guard i look liek i'm angry/depressed/bored. and i can't help it.
5. i'm always bored. very few things hold my attention.
so please just tell me what you think is up with my brain.
