True. But still, many of us do!
Right 
I have the same problems too! I get anxiety attacks from a Panic Disorder, but I’m on meds. It’s nice to meet someone else who knows what it’s like.
I get anxiety attacks from a panic disorder too! And it is usually over small stuff too (like when I was getting my license I was be freaking out). I have had meds before but some of them make me feel werid. Your one of the few people I’ve met to have it like me.
I can get anxiety attacks. I’ve had them before. I had one real bad where my heart beat so fast I had chest pain. I thought I was having a heart attack.
But I calmed down and it went away.
Nowadays I don’t get them or I dont get them as bad as before.
I do become nervous though. Especially when trying to confront people to say hi.
My mamaw has clinical depression.
Oh, I’m the worst at that. I always get nervous like when I’m going up to the library desk or talking on the phone, even if I’ve done it a hundred times. About the only people I don’t get nervous around when talking to is my family, and even then sometimes I’ll get all studdery. 
Of course, it’s nothing like what you all were talking about… some of that stuff sounds pretty scary! 
Ah, I hate talking on the phone!! Or turning work in, …basically any major human contact weirds me out.
I hate talking at the phone too. But I like to communicate in written form, that’s why I enjoy it in here and in the messenger too (it’s a shame you guys don’t use it 
)
Yes, anything except phone is good. Except I hate talking to people I know, but not very well. I love talking to strangers and friends, but acquaintances I’m not close to make me uncomfortable.
In which category do we fit?
I also hate the phone. I just can not communicate well on it.
It’s like I just can’t find words to say.
Everyone else will talk and I’ll listen
I often find I don’t know when I’m supposed to speak too.
Writing is easier for me because I can explain all of my thoughts better. And on top of the fact I can say more than I can verbally.
Exactly! I never know what to say on the phone.
Spirit: You guys are my extended family. I am very comfortable with the vast majority of you guys.
Heehee!!!
Yep.
SpiritOfAdventure: Yeah, me too. When I’m writing, I can fully compose myself and be sure I’m getting my message across just right, without worrying about how I sound or my display of emotions. 
On another note though… I’ve got Messenger! I just don’t use it that often. 
Virginia: That’s how all the people I know (with the exception of my family) are like… people you sorta know, but not very well. For example, I haven’t seen the people I consider my “best friends” in nearly half a year. That leads me to feeling really awkward around them, especially when it’s the first time I’ve seen them in a while.
P.S.- Whoa, there’ve been like four posts since I started writing this! 
S 330: Yup, that’s pretty much me too… just sit back and let everybody else do the talking.
Yeah. I let others talk. Mostly cause I don’t know how to start conversing or if I am conversing I’ll talk about one thing and then stop.
I dont really talk a lot.
My grandpa often jokes by saying I talk a lot when I really don’t.
Yes, it’s not too common. When I was younger I was a very big hypochondriac, so If something was wrong with me I’d get a panic attack. These resulted in my depression. The last one I had was a couple weeks ago, and it was fine after taking an emergency pill. How long have you had these attacks?
EJE- That sounds simillar to me. I have had these probably since the 4th grade. The depression was the worse was sucidal a few times. I still get depression from time to time but I have learned to control it a bit. My panic attacks however still bug me if it isn’t one thing its another I’ll probably have one on oreintation.

Oh my God. Are you me? I hate talking on the phone, I do not get along well with normal people, I’m scared to death of needles, I’m way too sensitive on some things, then on others, it seems like I don’t have feelings. I hate having my hair pulled(it makes me cry. I’m very tender headed)but when I broke my left arm when I was 7, my mom thought I was lying because I didn’t cry. I hate most modern music. I hate certain sounds,
ESPECIALLY a broom going over carpet.
I also despise most textures. I’m very extremely picky with food, are you? And I can’t sleep at night. I usually go to sleep finally at like 3 AM.

I don’t like the feeling of a dry towel when I have wet hands. Not after I wash my hands, but after I get out of the shower. It’s hard to explain.
I’m not too picky with food in general, but I am with meat. I don’t like shredded meat. I like ground meat.
We have a lot in common! That’s awesome!

Yep!
I have a habit of shifting my fingers whenever I hear music. I shift them per note I hear. Like I’m playing an instrument.
I also just now realized! I overlap my fingers a lot. Like I’m crossing my fingers only subconsciously.
Hmmmmmmmmmmm…finger twisting?
