what is a big thing for you but alot of people dont know it ?

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.

I do this! i quite enjoy it actually. beats being bored.
but i tend to have this imaginary life in my head that's so different to mine and just live it.
helps me escape.

I can't listen to people eating without feeling like I'm going to explode. Seriously, I have to cover my ears of I end up harming myself or the other person. Somehow I manage to hide it though... only my family really know about it.

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

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
I'm really getting sick of this problem.

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'm missing a kidney.

Not a problem in day-to-day life, so most people don't know. But it does cause some odd looks when a kickabout with friends turns into a ruthless and bloody game of dodgeball, and I end up charging round a field screaming "NOT MY BACK! DON'T HIT ME IN THE BACK! NOT MY BAAAAACK!"

Walking into a room full of people (the common room esp.). Makes me feel so anxious. Once I had to pick my brother up from one of his clubs, and when I realised all the parents were waiting in one room, I couldn't go in there. I just ridiculously stood outside in the freezing cold for half an hour.

Talking to people. If I haven't had a successful, engaging conversation with someone I feel like crying afterwards, really.

Music. Like a lot of people, i'm a bit obsessive over it. I listen to some modern music, but more 60s 70s 80s. I just don't like people knowing what I listen to (IRL), since I feel they can be so judgemental and i'll get the weird looks. Even if I have my earphones in, I can't listen to my music appreciatively when i'm out and about. It's like the intimacy between me and my music had been lost.

What is it about having one kidney that means you can't be hit in the back? I'm intrigued

My remaining kidney has grown larger to compensate. That makes it bigger, heavier (...faster, stronger!) and more vulnerable to injury. So a heavy blow to the back or my right side could rupture it. And that would be bad.
