Not like whats your phobia but like what kind of thing makes you nervous or anxious.
does anyone ever get really anxious about something and how do you cope with it?

ill start. i usually get quite anxious when i have to meet new people. i dont know why just get so nervous. i dont really deal with it i just wait and it calms down.

[Doogle]

Ordering food. I always get really nervous before I order thinking I'm gonna say something stupid.

[Pyramid*]

Public speaking and presentations to large groups. years under my belt but still get the sleepless night before hand, and that sick feeling in the tummy right before it.

[Niamh.]

Public speaking definitely, luckily I never have to do it oh, also driving to somewhere I've never been before, I get lost alot

Being hit on.

I really hate people touching me and also really hate public displays of affection; someone trying to hit on you is trying to achieve both of those things and it disgusts me, but I also get put on edge by people who are trying to do that who are worryingly confident and forward because I'm not like that at all.

Hahah.. I have a freind who hates any sort of human contact or affection. Some "wacky" students were going round pubs in Edinburgh one night giving away "free hugs". I actually did think she was going to vomit!

silences

[Smithy]

Exams
Doing something for the first time
Calling those places for help with electronics and stuff, coz ik half the time they're either Indian and I can't understand them, or they talk about it in depth and I can't understand them and in the end make myself look like a twat

My body. Not how I look but on the inside. I hate it but I can't help but constantly think about things on the inside. I'm not a hypochondraic because I know I'm not sick or anything like that I just breakdown and analyze things way too much if I feel something inside.

Night, too. Another one I hate. I usually stay up until 4 or 5 and everything just seems really odd and dark around those hours whatever way my brain is working. It's a bit of a lonely, dead sort of time that makes me self reflect far too much. That's usually why I'm on the internet for that sense of contect with other people also awake.

The reverse is that I'm not willing to break that sleeping pattern. In a weird way I get off on it. It's like a little buzz.

Do you ever think about what your brain looks like? And what it actually does? I can't think about that as I don't like having something like that in my head..

-knows I now sound mental-

[Ramsay]

my friend has a picture up on facebook of when he got a brain scan and its so weird to think about what my own brain looks like

I've spent a huge amount of my life just sitting there thinking about my brain. Weeds great for that. I think it's a really trippy thing to think about especially if you start thinking in reverse and try and almost unthought yourself into the stage where you can try and feel your brain having the thought and understand where it's coming from.

I always reach conclusions too most people never even think about like say ... I AM the brain. The brain is me. It's weird that I should even try to think about it as if it's some thing in my body I'm seperate from. The brain is me. I'm not thinking about it, it's thinking about itself.

We have such massive egos that we've seperated ourselves from our brains and just see it as like this pool of information we can dip in and out of but we are the brain. You didn't post that comment about your brain, your brain did. Your wondering about something that is itself.





I just read that back. Jesus that's so badly worded. It sounds insane. Things like this are hard to put into words.

Lol.. it doesn't sound insane... well it does in a way. But that's why I can't think about brains for too long as I begin to think crazy thoughts, and I am actually completely sane!

Work, sometimes, not sure what it is, but if my mood catches me wrong, I end up being nervous there

I fully believe we have the power to make ourselves insane all on our own.

i always think about **** like that, how the mind controls everything and nothing is technically real

Well there is a reality but it's filtered through the mind and every mind is different. The eye is only responsible for 10% of what you see. The other 90% is the brain. Every species sees the world in a slightly different way. Nobody knows what it actually looks like. For all we know colour is an invention of the brain. It probably is. I imagine the world looks like this odd chemical haze scattered with light from the sun.

And that's just the three dimensions that we can percieve. There's plenty more dimensions. This is all basic physics too, mind you. Not the ramblings of a deluded luncatic.

Well.

I agree 100%. And I think the more intelligent you are, the more capable you are of doing so.

No doubt. Most people who are just simple manic depressives right up to the high end of schizophrenic psychosis tend to be highly imaginative people who think far too much.

It's the right/left brain thing. Right brainers make for good nutters I think. They have it within themselves to think themselves into oblivion whereas left brainers are very logical, ordered sorts who are fairly content with things.

I don't know if I'm left or right brained.. I am a very content, very easy going person and I don't think about things too much. However I think I COULD think too much or worry about things, but I seem to be able to shut any serious stuff out and just concentrate on the good, happy stuff..
