What's Your Problem?

[TheRaisin]

Seriously, what is it?

I grind my teeth all the time, pick and bite my fingernails, procrastinate, fidget, don't sleep well, have allergies, get sick all the time, have a low tolerance for loud noises and bright lights, am terrified of social interaction (especially with girls), and my mood changes at the drop of a hat, although I'm just generally depressed most of the time.

And you?

[Dark Oddworld]

I'm the same as you.

[Leto]

Well, sleep deprivation constantly, same thing with depression, and I sort of hate everyone... If anyone watches T.V wth me were bound to get into some sort of critisism debate.

Why are you afraid of socially interacting with girls, you two? Try socially interacting with gay males, then see what you think of the subject...

Did I mention I'm always depressed? Oh yeah, I did. Huh.

Sounds like you've got manic depression, social anxiety and ADD.

I suffer from moderate social anxiety and I drink excessively.

[TheRaisin]

I'm afraid of being rejected by girls. It's as simple as that. At the time that outside influences were causing me to have low self-esteem I actually felt fine about myself (after all, little kids always love themselves). It's only now that I start feeling like there's something really wrong with me and everyone is judging me and I'm not good enough for anything. I think this is not helped by my depression and paranoia. And it's bullshit because I know that NOW people are mature enough to not care how I look. People don't give me (much) crap about the way I am. But it's too late. I have ingrained on my grey matter this horrible self-image that, try as I might, I CAN'T ****ING GET RID OF! BLOODY HELL!

Mentioned the mood swings, right? Yeah.

So that's why I fear interaction with other people, especially girls. Although lately what I've really been afraid of is that I won't ever be able to interact, and that when I graduate from high school everyone around me will be having wild sex with their girlfriends and hanging out with their home slices while I'm left horribly alone, alone, alone! Doomed to an unfulfilling adult life which will inevitably end in miserable impoverished aloneness!

But why am I spewing out all of this? I made this thread so other people could tell me how much they suck and I could feel better by comparison. Commence!

The first two sound right. But ADD? I don't have trouble focusing. I have trouble caring. Pleh.

[Nepharski]

I suffer from an ever-so-faint phobia of death and danger. I am paranoid from time to time, and used to exhibit obsessive-compulsive tendancies (Like X-treme hand washing). I am sometimes (but not often) slightly depressed, and I also suffer (Or rather, enjoy) a mild case of eccentricity, if there is such a thing.

Still, if you overlook these, I'm a great guy!

[Leto]

At the time that outside influences were causing me to have low self-esteem.

I have been like that for several years. Still am, infact. Just get a "**** you all" attitude. It seems to work.

I actually felt fine about myself (after all, little kids always love themselves). It's only now that I start feeling like there's something really wrong with me and everyone is judging me and I'm not good enough for anything.

As a child, I always hated myself. If you've just discovered you think you suck, so does everyone else.

So that's why I fear interaction with other people, especially girls.

Do the gay guy thing...

Hey, your not the only one. Who cares about that shit. There is still time to get a grilfriend, just stop the whole social thing and get out of the box.

I have trouble caring. Pleh.

Who doesn't. Pleh

[Al the Glukkon]

Slight OCD, bad self-image, hate loud noises, don't sleep well, sometimes depressed, I hate my art and drawings, and one other thing I will keep locked away.

[AquaticAmbi]

I'm not really in a complainy mood, but hey, maybe that'll keep me from going on and on.

~My main problem is the violence I have to endure at home.
~I have horrible study habits, but in the past, I've half-assed my way and still received A's. Now that I have Biology 2 AP, I don't think I can do that.
~After witnessing Luke's car accident two or so summers ago, I've been subconciously terrified of learning to drive. I realized this a few months ago, and I think I've overcome it for the most part and now I'm finally working on my learner's permit when I'm nearly 17.
~Recently, I've started doubting my abilities to get into a good college in the future for 2 reasons: Either all the colleges I apply to will think "She only took one AP class, and her GPA is only a 3.8? Pchaw... She's not good enough compared to all these AP students with GPAs like 4.5." And reason #2, my mom's income is much less than most colleges I'm looking into.
~While I've always been a decently confident person, lately, I've been so... I don't know. I feel physically inadequate and unattractive because I'm so skinny. I guess I'd feel confident easilier if I had more feminine curves and such... not that I'm hoping for double D's or anything like that, but being able to weigh 100 lbs would be nice. I'm sure this is just some weird phase I'm going through, as I've never worried about these things before, and I'm mad at myself for worrying to the small extent that I am already.

I understand that these are such minor problems, except for the violence in my home, but I'd rather not get into that. Besides, there's always someone out there with bigger problems than I have.

[Facsimile]

Let's see... What's my problem...
I fear death, and I don't see me even making it to the end of my school years.
I have others, but I can't put some of them into well structured sentences, and the others I don't really want to talk about.

[Rex Tirano]

I'm borderline and mildly depressed. Yay!

And I have tons of stupid fears.

[Cyber-Slig]

I hate interacting with people. Its like ''Aye, come over then'' and 2 hours later I wan't whoever I wanted to come over, out of the house. Ofcourse I don't tell them that. And not always. And also my eyes are screwed up. Basically light in my eyes stays for a while. So as I type its like I see colours sometimes. This is also the cause of the things I thought I saw in the dark.

[SeaRex]

Aww! You never told me that. Well, I mean it was obvious that it has been taking you a while, but I didn't know that I caused this anxiety... although it's really REALLY obvious now that I think about it.

Anywho, I'm really bad with playing video games when I should be drawing/doing stuff for college.

I'm also very obsessive compulsive, which is probably why I have more hours on Morrowind than any other game. Once my house is built, all of my character's magical junk must BE IN THE EXACT SPOT I want it to be in. Same goes for real life. Heh.

[TheRaisin]

I'm mildly obsessive-compulsive. Like, I can't watch TV if the little panel hiding the buttons on the front is open. I just can't. I have to get up and close it first. I hope the first person I start spending a lot of time with is patient and understanding. Otherwise I'll drive her crazy.

Borderline what, Tirano?

Sometimes I can't stand my friends. Take Halo 2, for example. Yesterday was a really short day so I went over to a friend's house at twelve and we immediately started playing Halo 2. I was there until six at night, and when I finally left they were like "Aw don't be weak, Rob. Why are you leaving? Come on!" and more people were just coming. Honestly, I don't know what the hell is wrong with them. How could anyone play a video game for six effing hours and still keep going? It ticks me off. They shouldn't hassle me for not being as much of a freaking addict as they are.

And you?

Having to listen to depressed people whine about how bad their lives are instead of getting up and doing something about it. I'm rather obsessive and easily addicted to stuff such as games.

Oh yeah, and Spiders.

[Silversnow]

I guess I have a lot of problems...
I'm scared of most things, except death.
I think I have some serious disease. If it's not cancer or epilepsy (I will soon be tested for those things), then it's something else. Alright, maybe that isn't really a problem.
Talking to strangers make me feel uncomfortable. Not while I'm talking, but a few hours afterwards.
Everything I do isn't good enough for me. Whenever I say something or do something, I can think about it for days afterwards. "Did I do it right?", "What do they think." and stuff like that.
I hate my body. Seriously. If I had the money, I'd get plastic surgery as soon as I could. It's probably the only way out.
I'm lazy. Very lazy.
In case you haven't figured it out yet, I have extremely low self-esteem. And there's one other thing I don't think you want to know.

[Alcar]

I like to have things in place perfectly If my pens are scrambled on the desk, I will arrange them nicely so that they are symetrical with each other and the desk. And I do this with everything I can find.

Alcar...

I think in this case, you are a hypocondriac (sp?!)/(proper meaning?!). If you think you have a disaese and actually don't.

Oh yeah, another few on the continuing list...
I constantly shake. I don't know if this is a disease or not, but may be due to my excessive consumption of caffine.

I have to read whatever it says on the packaging of food these days, you know, like in fat and sugar content. I don't really think this is a problem, but it sure lengthens going to the super-market.

[Facsimile]

Wow! I'm a hypochondriac!
At least, I hope I am...

[The Marching Mudokon]

I think about things way too much. Not everything but mainly just the small things. Why? I don't know.

[Dipstikk]

Me? I'm just an asshole to everyone.
It started when I was sick of being pushed around. I got up one day and left the house with my middle finger held up high. I'm verbally nasty and sarcastic, and I've also been known to yell at people in public when others are too nervous to do so. I swear all the time, I love making fun of people (and it's usually jocks and the "cool crowd" that get shit from me), And I'm rude.

AND I F*CKING LOVE IT!

Also, I have a nervous tick where I kind of click my shoulder or crack my neck/fingers.

[TheRaisin]

This is great. Hearing other people talk about their problems makes me feel super.

I don't consume too much caffeine, but I do shake quite a bit. I can't even hold my hand out in front of me without it kind of twitching and moving around. I'm doing it right now. Wow that's weird.

[Leto]

Same. Its been like that since I was about 5.

I've been really snappy lately, like if some one is speaking of something and I know its wrong, I just sort of argue.

AND I F*CKING LOVE IT!

Aha. Who can honestly say they don't? It's just- FUN!

[sligster]

Personally, I don't get much sleep. And when I do sleep, I wake up 3 or 4 times in the middle of the night for no apparent reason I can see.

I also play alot of video games- I'm a fast learner and usually beat a game within the first week or so of getting it, so then I have to find another game to entertain myself, then I finish that one, then..... you get the idea.

[Leto]

Oh yeah, I forgot. The fact I always shake is because I have RSI in both hands. Its what happens when you use computers for most of your life...

[Musica]

i'm constantly depressed and cant ssem too make up my mind about what my personality is, because when im on the computer i am much different than how i am at school...and i can't seem to make much friends...can't imagine why

[Oddsville]

I used to have all that depression schtuff along with social anxiety etc. Its just a phase we all go through, before you know it you'll just stop caring what other people think. I like having my own style now as opposed to trying to fit in so much. I also find that taking risks (usually good ones not ones that'll F me over..although its healthy to take thoughs sometimes aswell.) at a moments notice helps your self confidence.

I used to have a similar problem with girls, I could talk to them all I wanted and show off but when it came to asking them out and such I'd freak, then one day I asked out my Best friends girlfriends friend only after knowing her for a few days. It worked out for awhile but in the end we ended it, even so Im glad I did it.

[TheRaisin]

What's RSI?

Thank you, thank you.
