Have you guys heard of this?

Teens with Social Anxiety Disorder/ Successful people with social anxiety Part 1

I just realized that I have a form of this... I never realized that something was wrong, I just figured that the anxiety that I got was normal. Now that I'm starting to understand what it actually is, I'm realizing that I've learned to cope with it pretty well, but I do still get quite a bit of it. Anyway, it's pretty interesting stuff if you haven't heard about it, and you should definitely watch some vids if you have time.

ever heard of it? think you have it? anyone actually have it?

[Cable]

I think I have a very minor form of this.

Or maybe I'm just shy and spend too much of my time alone.

[Deacon]

moderate, i would think.

sometimes i can put on a brave face

but i've lived the past 7 months at home with my parents, too scared to go out and get a job

.--.

I went to a party tonight and had to leave when people were showing up because I was getting too anxious.

It took me a long ass time to get a job as well, because I fear that interaction and people judging me.

in the car i always think people are staring at me and judging me, but idk it's hard to explain.

I always over evaluate something that happens that really isn't a big deal when i think about it, but I really can't help it.

[Alkaline]

I guess I have a minor form of this.
Except it does not stretch to the point where I do not answer questions others ask.

I went through a tough 8th grade when I found out I was diagnosed with Trichotillomania, aka I pull out my eyelashes, it was a very lonely and disturbing 8th grade with everyone always asking me about my eyes and not believing my reasons. The sad thing is my grades showed for it.

is that a form of ocd? anyway I feel for you man, did they grow back? I have a friend with no eyebrows, I wonder if the same thing happened...

[Supertoaster]

I'm 100% sure I have it + aspergers + adhd

They also did an IQ test on me at school because they thought I needed special ed because I was failing horribly for awhile, turns out I was being a lazy prick and just needed to get my act together 

I don't know the exact number I got but I recall the psychologist (I think it was a psychologist?, I get psychologist mixed up with something) saying it was above average. Also this was a REAL IQ test it wasn't one of those shitty website IQ tests.   

[Carp]

psychiatrist? Anyway, do you take meds for it and do they help?

Most people that have OCD usually have some very strict routine or some sorts or activities that they feel a need to repeat or anything along those lines, and needing to pull out your eye lashes is definitely one. /obvious

Anyways...

Were you diagnosed with them?

This. I do this a lot unfortunately, with some things.

The whole party thing, I usually don't have a problem with things like that surprisingly. I'm usually fairly shy and what not, but I don't really mind crowds or anything.
For me it depends who I'm around though really.
If I'm around really obnoxious, annoying, ignorant people, etc, then I start to get really anxious and shit, and usually have to leave. Usually it gets to the point where I just want to hit someone if there's a lot of commotion around me, though I never actually do anything usually.

I think everyone has a type of OCD, its something you contract to and cannot stop. What you were talking about Carp affects alot of peoples life's everyday, and we are the ones to observe the truth.

[Supertoaster]

Meds? Just ADHD and I only take it during school

My Aspergers is pretty mild so I don't need to take anything for it

lol doesn't everyone get anxious when there is obnoxious, annoying, or ignorant people around? The thing about being at a party is, I felt the need to introduce myself to everyone at the party, and that got me really anxious/stressed.
