Anxiety Question...

[Thong Maniac]

What type of anxiety or issue is this? Been plaguing me for a while now but never sought help, but as I get older its becoming more of a burden.

These are some examples of thought processes during the day and sometimes they get compounded and really start bothering me and i get all worried/anxious:

-i dont want to spit while that car is there and that guy is looking at me..he will think im spitting to piss him off or be confrontational
-i hope that guy sees me taking weights off the bar when im done so he thinks im a good guy
-i made eye contact with that hot chick at the gym earlier, but now i want to use the machine right next to her. She is going to think i want to fuck her and now its akward, so i wont go over by her. I dont want her to think she is hot shit
-Did that guy acknowledge i held the door for him? He didnt even thank me. What a dick

These are just some examples from today that clogged up my mind.
Its like this social anxiety thing. Its like im overly conscientious, or afraid of confrontations so im always trying to be super respectful of everyone around me. I wish i could just be in my own world and not worty about outside shit like this.

It's not anxiety, it's called:

You are a BETA!

This.

But seriously sounds like you have some major social anxiety disorder. I work with a woman like that. I'm sorta the same way but not as bad as you. Other than friends/family and chicks I want to bang I really dislike talking with people. Good luck.

Its not that i mind talking to people, just constantly consumed with how im interacting and how its affecting others around me to the point that its semi-crippling

If... and I say "IF" you are being serious, it is called "social anxiety"


...and your feelings could be absolutely correct. I wouldn't know.


Sounds like a little bit of O.C.D. goin' on there also, which just feeds the fire.


If it gets out of hand to where it is crippling, it is called G.A.D. "Generalized Anxiety Disorder" and at that point Cognitive Behavior Therapy is a good choice...

...unless of course, you dig Benzos.

You're not a snowflake but these can manifest slightly different in different people. Some have it worse than others too.

[Thong Maniac]

I looked up GAD.


These symptoms for sure...

-Difficulty concentrating, or the feeling that your mind "goes blank".
(In stressful situations like if a guy picks a fight or is a prick, i like shut down. I cant think on my feet at all. After its over im like "ah why didnt i say this or thAt")

-Worrying about excessively worrying
-Distress about making decisions for fear of making the wrong decision
-Carrying every option in a situation all the way out to its possible negative conclusion (this sums up my initial post i think?)
-Difficulty handling uncertainty or indecisiveness

That sounds like typical social anxiety with certain aspects of O.C.D. also, you're right. Going to a social anxiety disorder board can help. But more importantly getting in touch with a psychiatrist or psychologist. But be warned. Anti-anxiety medications can put weight on you. No matter how crisp your diet is.

you dont need friends. you dont need to be social. All you need is the iron

Look outward at people with your eyes from where you are standing.  Don't look back at yourself with their eyes.

Then you'll know exactly where they are when the time comes to kill them.  After that they usually just stay in one place and stop plotting against you.

Damn that first sentence is pretty wise man, eventhough u are trying to make a joke, i think that is something i will try to remember

[Jizmonkey]

I can relate. Sometimes I tell myself just to not give a crap about certain things and that works. I tried the meds but didn't like being a "test" subject. They just try one med after another and hope something works eventually. It was hell getting off of it too. Took over a year for the side effects to wear off. Din't like being "zoned out". It works for some people, just not me.

Thanks

I also realize that i try hard to avoid confrontations because i wont know what or how to react. Its like i always freeze...even with positive comments. Im constantly planning in my head..."what if that guy comes over abd talks to me today, oh shit what will i say so i dont sound dumb!?". Always running situations thru my head before they actually happen because i am not quick on my feet
