| I know the feeling. It was called depersonalization in my case. It can drive me insane from time to time. I learned to ignore the feeling, but when I focus on it, I see it is there all the time. I think it started for me when I was around 16 (I am 42 now...). Hope you learn to deal with it. I tried ... |

| I understand what you mean I think. When I see other people interact I can imagine that I should do this, or say that, but when I actually need to do something it does not happen. Like I am locked at the moment I am involved and need to act for real. I can not come up with a good reaction and just j... |

| My high school years were very painful. I think I had about 1.5 good years, mostly the last years. Maybe it gets better when you get older I thought, but nowadays, it seems I was wrong. At least the last year was OK and quite relaxed with some good friends. |

| I have been diagnosed with social anxiety some years ago. I think there is no way to tell the difference between an NT or AS with social anxiety. I think for me the anxiety became worse and more obvious because of more painful experiences and growing awareness of my limitations. Sometimes I think be... |

| Stockholm syndrome is where the victim gets kidnapped and he or she falls in love with the kidnapper. A BS condition IMO because I think it's absurd to make it a condition. There is even a thing called Lima syndrome where the bad guy falls in love with someone who they took as their hostage. Also r... |

But this is probably what other people would see about me being in my own world. For myself being in my own ... |

| Do you think is it right to be treated atrociously by some and being bullied because you were born different?Or is it wrong? Bullying is wrong and painful. But why start a topic on that? Do you expect to find a single person here with a opposite viewpoint? Don't get me wrong, it just seems like sta... |

Magic numbers and OCD? For me, all good things have to come in two's, bad things should never come in two's. If a bad thing happens twice in a row, I have to force it to "happen" again. Otherwise it would bring bad things... OCD SUCKS!! !!  |

But it may not be the case. So all you can do is try to find out for yourself. There are also some other options I gues... |

It started when I was in early high school and I was pretty happy at the time until, for some reason, I got very depressed. It was like it just came out of nowhere. And during that time it felt l... |
