Just about what I said earlier, if there is something that has always frightened you for a while, do you have to try and overcome it even though you really don’t want to even though you feel you must?
Eh, I’ve never tried to over come my fear. And I never will. I hate them too badly!
Yes, overcome them! This week my friend overcame two big fears of hers: Flight and Shots/Needles. She was not going to go on our trip To NYC because of these reasons. But eventually she braved it out and got her TB shot, and has promised to go on the airplane.
Imagine if she had stayed afraid, not been brave, and missed out on this upcoming trip? She’d defintely regret it! I’m proud of her.
I don’t know what may be wrong with me mentally.
I have been suspected of a mild form of Autism such as Aspergers…but I havent been tested for it yet.
I do find that:
A: I get REALLY and unnecessarily nervous when I go to confront someone like if I wanted to ask a question or even just say hi.
B: I feel very awkward when someone I don’t know asks a question like if I know where a certain store is.
C: I often find myself acting and/or thinking like a computer or robot…(Ive had a slight fascination with them ever since I could remember).
I could just plain be eccentric but I could have other issues.
Those are interesting symptoms, S330. I get really nervous around certain people. Only, it’s never people who should make me nervous. Like, my mom’s cousin, and this one girl at school. My 7th grade math teacher made me really nervous, but now I think I sort of just ahad a crush on him. That’s different. 
Ah. Well. I just get nervous in general whether I know the person or not. It’s wierd.
I understand that. Sometimes I just get anxious for no reason at all!! I don’t necessarily need a stimulant.
Well, the fear I have is different than needles and stuff. A more extreme phobia. I don’t like to go into detail about it, so I’ll just leave it at that.
That was a small joke I thought I’d crack 
.
Oh and if you take offense, please don’t. It is not meant to offend.
I understand completely what you mean. Whenever I go to the doctor, I do anything possible to avoid getting shots. One time, I took pills for 3 weeks instead of getting one shot. My mom still mocks me for that. 
You know, I acutally used to have a fear of needles as well. Well, I still feel a bit uneasy about them, but I don’t exactly have a phobia of it. As for the fear I mentioned before, It’s too extreme for me to conquer it, but it’s been pretty easy for me to avoid anyway. I just sometimes get that feeling that I have to conquer it, I don’t know why. At least now I’ve told someone about it. It makes me feel better that way.
I never get the urge to conquer mine. I’m sure I sound like a jerk coward, but I’d rather just avoid them. 
I have Aspergers too. I’m really glad there’s a topic like this, because I really want to talk to someone about it. I have a lot of the same symptoms other members have mentioned previously, and also different ones. I don’t know if all of them are from Aspergers, though. Sorry it might be long.
I have social problems. One thing I noticed is that I don’t really look at people when I’m talking. I look part of the time, but I look away for most of the time. No one has told me it’s a problem, so maybe it’s not. I also have trouble making friends. I do have some really good friends, though. I tend to get along with people that are either younger or older than me. I get along with adults really well because I have more of the same interests. I like older movies and music a lot. I like newer movies, but not music.
Another part of my social problems is that I don’t like talking on the phone. I don’t know why, but I just don’t. I have caller ID, and if it’s not an actual person I know that’s calling, I don’t answer. Even when I call people I know, it makes me nervous.
I don’t think I have OCD, but I like repetitive things. I like repetitive songs (to a point) and tasks. Jokes never get old for me. I’ve been joking about the same things since 5th grade.
I’m a really sensitive person. I am very emotional, and I don’t like to see people suffer. I cry very easily. I also don’t like pain. That includes needles. I’m usually okay with shots and getting my blood drawn, but I don’t like finger pricks or shots when they stab the needle into you hard, like antivenom or epi pens. I also am scared of surgery. I also don’t want kids partly because of the pain.
I have anxiety problems. I also really really don’t like loud startling noises. When I know there’s going to be a fire drill at school, I wear ear plugs. It feels really embarrasing to be startled and jump, and I feel like I’m the only one who does it. I hate it when people come behind me and scare me! I also have phobias. I’m scared of spiders, bees/wasps/hornets only because they sting, and tornadoes. I also used to be really scared of dogs, but now I’m way less scared of them and I actually want one. I still don’t like it when people have their dogs unleashed in public (and not in a dog park). You never know if people who are scared or allergic are around you.
My biggest fear is fire. It has affected my life a lot. I’ve never been in one, but the fear came from multiple nightmares I had when I was little. Watching movies with fire really scares me too. I can watch the Lion King movies and Land Before Time 3 without problems, but it bothers me in movies like Bolt. I think it bothers me when it’s inside, and not outside. I was also scared by the guy in Dark Knight and the beginning part in Unfortunate Events.
It also creates little fears. I’m scared of thunderstorms because lightning might strike my house. I also don’t take any chemistry classes. We had some chemistry in my past science classes, and kids would put their fingers in flames, and I felt like I was going to faint. I also don’t want to live too far away from the fire department, and I don’t want to live in any situation where I’m sharing walls with anyone, like townhouses or apartments because decisions the people around me make will also affect me, and that might include smoking and falling asleep or leaving something in the oven or on the stove.
I’ll tell you more later because this is really long.
I have OCD and I get aniexty attacks.
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.
AAAUGHH!!! I do a lot if not all of the same things. 
Except that I’m actually frightened about the human heart (the organ. Not the mental analogy) instead of needles (though I don’t like those either).
I’m sensitive on some things but not with others.
Pain is generally normal.
Though I do shout out if one of my sisters hits me.
I dislike pretty much a good deal of modern music (except film scores).
Not too many sounds i hate.
Except the heartbeat sound and REALLY loud noises
Textures I don’t really hate. But I do hate the feeling I get when I rub my fingers together when theyre water logged. 
And yes I do stay up till 3:00 AM sometimes even 4 or 5
And my fears of having aspergers are worsening (not because of the above).
I’m having a few people on some other forums tell me that I act a lot like I have aspergers.
Strange. But true.
Oh yes, film scores. They are excused. Why are you afraid of having Asperger’s? Just curious.
I’m not.
Just it’s looking more and more like it.
Oh, okay. Well, we could start a club! There are so many of us here!
Hehehe…well I still dontknow if I have it for sure so…
