i've always wondered like what impacts your lives but people dont know about it?

for example i'm allergic to nuts but alot of people don't know it :smile:


probably the sort of thing you'd want to tell people to be honest, buying gifts, eating out etc.

But urm... "a big thing". Hmm... can't really think of much, odd thing or two come to mind, some private things. I suppose not many know I have orthopaedic insoles in my trainers though.
Answering the damn phone. I actually HATE it. It scares the life out of me.

Oh, and the fact that I'm genetically screwed up. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome Type III, Severe myopia, severe astimatism, IBS, Depression, Over pronating feet, whiplash and Social Anxiety.

To be honest doing stuff like phoning cabs, going in to banks and talking to cashier's makes me pretty anxious and I do try avoid **** like that, I think it's a fear of saying something wrong/stupid, and it really annoys me. It's like really bad shyness..


me too!! wow i thought i was the only strange one! :colondollar:

Its really horrible, I don't like any of those things but I'm really bad when it comes to making phonecalls. I can ring my mam, dad and sister but other than that I try my hardest not to phone anyone. I don't even phone my boyfriend if I don't really have to.

I don't think anyone other than my mam realises I have this problem. I have actually considered going to the doctors about it becasue it is starting to ruin parts of my life. I finally decided I wanted to learn to drive and have had the phone number of a friends dad whose a driving instructer in my phone for a few months now but I just can't bring myself to phone him and ask for lessons :frown:
I'm really getting sick of this problem.

I am really quiet around other people even though I'm pretty self confidant and most people assume I hate them, or I'm just a boring person but really I don't know how to relate to others
I also used to be seriously depressed but you couldn't tell now

I don't like hot drinks, which is a shame because I really want to like hot chocolate but I just don't.
I hate talking on the telephone. Ringing people is the worst thing, apart from if its family.

Whiplash? Do you mean you have two X chromosones and thus find driving difficult?

I have Multiple personality disorder. :ninja:

No can ever know the real me. :colone:
When i was younger i had a form of Meningitis (Meningococcal) and i recovered absolutely fine, so many people with this lose limbs, slight, hearing are brain damaged or die.

It's kind of made me appreciate life ALOT more.

I have Asperger's and ADHD. I only tell people if they're people I'll be spending a lot of time with, just so they don't think I'm some kind of schizo because my mannerisms, speech patterns and lack of social awareness can come across as a little odd sometimes.

Saying hi to and socialising with people I'm only vaguely acquainted with. I over analyse everything and end up getting terribly stressed about the whole thing.
I have very elaborate stories that I imagine in my head. I imagine stuff from the points of view of several characters. I do the same scenes over and over again, think through entire conversations that can last, like, an hour. I think of the back-stories for all/most of the characters, think through random scenes from their pasts. It's like having a novel in there, only, with more information about a wider variety of stuff than a novel.

I'm not sure why I do this, but I always have done it.
It's just this massive part of my life that very few other people seem to experience. Most people don't even understand what I'm talking about: "so, it's like, a day-dream?" - no! The only people that do understand are the few people that do the same thing...

I do this to an extent. Tried to make a novel out of it but just didn't have time.
