awww. :D

Blood doesn't bother me, knees did a lot for a while but I forced myself to get over it.

Now I just have an insane fear of octopi, squids, jelly fish and aquatic life in general. x) not much of an improvement, but..

Can't help but laugh at knees, but then again I am scared of blood so..bleh And I love the water just not some of its creatures that you've mentioned, lol

Insecure. :/

Anyway I could stop the insecurity? ;/

I'm not sure what one it is, really. I used to have problems somewhat like that, however I got over them simply by becoming much closer to my existing friends, and making new ones in the process. :) Its easier said than done, but you just have to find real strong friends, and most all your anxieties will go away.

Happened for me that way too. I used to be rather antisocial. xD

I know how you feel - sometimes I see a friend and completely pretend like I didn't see them otherwise it's awkward. :x Even if they're a really close friend. I think it's because I'm quite quiet, and so worry that people won't hear me and I'll look ridiculous. =/

Are you quite a quiet, shy person? This may be the problem, but I hope it improves for you. x)

lol, assburger. How did I miss that? xD

A little of both. No one is the same in the social development area... I for example am aweful at reading emotions other than stress and depression. O_o

I know how you feel and used to be just like that. I would avoid looking anyone in the eyes and even if they said hello to me I wouldn't say it back because I would get all self-conscious and think the greeting was meant for someone else. ANYWAY, I was diagnosed with social phobia/anxiety and agoraphobia as well (I didn't leave my house for a year). The only thing that really helped me get over it was to just suck it up and put myself out there. If someone I'm trying to get the attention of doesn't notice me at first, I try again and MAKE them see me the next time around :P You just have to not care so much. Seriously. Today, I work in an AMUSEMENT PARK, there are thousands of people there and I don't give a damn lol I smile at everyone even if they are looking the other way!
