Avatar m tn As BeeFree stated, it is very normal to feel anxious when we have to speak in front of a group of strangers. I'm sure that most people feel anxiety to some extent when put in that position. There are self-help books available that will teach you many tips and tricks to deal with this anxiety. If possible, take a Public Speaking class.........I did and it was the best thing I'd done for myself at that time.
Avatar n tn My 3.5 year old granddaughter is afraid of entering rooms with a lot of people (not strangers), she will hide her eyes and not socialize at all. She also hides when she thinks someone will call attention to her (i.e. a party had a pinata, she hid because she didn't want anyone to clap when she tried to break it). She also has just recently stopped kissing (acknowledging) her grandfathers and uncles. She can totally ignore them and not look at them.

1183666 tn?1274275146 So, JESSiCA, we meet again! I'm glad to hear you're involved with a partner and a project, but I do understand your fear of public speaking. I'm positive the vast majority of us would rather streak through Wal Mart than get up in front of a group of people. (Would anybody notice us in Wal Mart? Somehow I think we'd just "blend!") I suppose there are a number of things you could try before it was your turn to be on stage.
Avatar m tn HI i always have a fear of getting infected through open cuts in my body.I reconfirm my hands many times before getting things from others so i will always avoid to get things directly from someone's hand as i always have a fear what if that other persons have an open cut & what if incase that person is infected by HIV.For this reason i always wont touch any strangers or get any things directly from anyone.
Avatar m tn If she does, then you and her caregivers needs to constantly be speaking with her about school and how she is suppose to participate by answering questions and speaking with the teachers. Maybe she just needs reassurance that it is okay for her to speak to her teachers. Maybe using a reward system for having great days for participating at school would be a great idea. Let her make a sticker book. For every time that she does something good, then she shall receive a sticker.
Avatar f tn Some men are very affected by cultural or family messages that women who have sex are somehow “dirty” or evil, and this affects their desire for their wives, so they can only have sex with women who are strangers. There are many other factors which could be affecting his desire, including stress, anxiety, fear of failure, and, most importantly, relationship conflicts. Your next step now is to approach him with the idea of sitting down to talk.
Avatar f tn Then he put on a condom, before he could get the head of his penis good inside of me i asked him to stop. The next day i asked my did he have anything and he got very offended.

Avatar m tn Wanted to confirm, HIV is NOT TRANSMITTED by mutual masturbation with strangers cum with or without cuts, abrasions, scrapes, hangnails, recent cuts, or cuts caused during the hand job even if others cum is in contact and mutual masturbation even if one has an open wound and the other's cum is in contact with that open wound/bleeding. Thanks. Sorry, but I had to double check.
Avatar m tn Two years ago in 2012, I had sex contacts with two strangers. I never had any oral sex or anal sex with them but one year ago I was diagnosed with HPV infection and showing genital warts symptoms. The doctor asked for HIV test and I was so scared and dared to do it. I know if I was diagnosed with something bad, I really cannot get through by myself. I am not a mentally strong person and I am not prepared for anything.. Really I am not.
Avatar f tn I'm not a doctor, just a mom of a child with autism, but I disagree. Children with autism have difficulty in 3 main areas; communication, social and stereotypic behaviour. Your child clearly has delayed speech because he should be speaking at 5, he also has stereotypic behaviours such as lining up toys, head banging and rocking. The only area which is not clear is social, but social is not as clear cut as one would think.
Avatar f tn I have suffered with social anxiety most of my life, it started when I was in school, I would hate it if I had to answer a question in class knowing everyone would focus on me or I would feel nervous even surrounded by a group of friends for fear of being judged on what I’d say, so I then became known as the “quiet girl”.
Avatar m tn Trump destroys what the "the establishment" Republican Party is all about, so I'm ALL FOR HIM. This country has been trying the same thing, over & over & over, for the last 60-years... and look where it's gotten us, and WHO it's gotten us. Of course, none of you really like him, and that's okay. That's what makes this country mediocre...
Avatar m tn Many children are like this when they are small I have seen this in my family and they did inf act grow out of a lot of it and became more sociable as they grew older perhaps she was protected from speaking to strangers when she was younger? .I am thinking that it may be a good idea to invite a child of similar age she knows to your house for a play date,is she the same at school do teachers notice the shyness ?
Avatar m tn if the hiv virus mixes with other sperms or vaginal fluids can it be active outside?
696149 tn?1314320959 Well, I spoke of it a few days ago......that is getting off the Vicodin and I just took the last 4 I had. I am terrified of what I'm probably going to face. Usually when you fear something, the bark is worse than it's bite, but in this case, the bark is just as bad as the bite, if not worse. Still, all I have to do is get through 1 week.
Avatar f tn My 21/2 years old is very shy and scared of strangers. She was social person until she turn 2. She is only comfortable with me or her dad. She goes to preschool; the teacher told us she is very quite. She never say a word to her teacher but she does good in activities. I am so worried because every time when when we take her to park she doesn't want to play unless we are next to her. She doesn't feel safe even with our family and close friends.
Avatar m tn s thorn pricks, thorn hollow, will not increase the risk of infection.
Avatar n tn Even at times, says he feels something in his throat. He has always had extreme fears. Fear of strangers. Needs me to check the door to make sure it is locked at night. Fear of the dark. I have older children and his fears seem far from normal. I am concerned that he is developing a major eating disorder because of his fears. Please advise. This seems to of gotten worse. My husband and I just had to close our business and are going thorough a divorce.
Avatar m tn too high expectations of myself in what ever I do, being diagnosed with adult ADD and having been put on tons of meds over the past 3 years both stimulants and anti-anxiety and or having never been taught to eat properly, therefore never learning to unlearn the chaotic state I have grown so accustom to operating in. I still struggle with it however a lot less so. here is what supplements I take to lessen it. omega 3 1-2000mg per day 2 1.
Avatar f tn She has always worked extremely hard- and I am sure that she will eventually find a job that can pay her bills. BUT, with the high cost of living, the prospect of a much needed but low paying non-profit position and an enormous educational loan to pay back, she is gonna be in tight financial circumstances for a long time. Does that make her lazy? Even at $8 and hour she does not qualify for safety net services. There is little help in the system for low wage workers.
Avatar f tn The only people who ask these types of questions about being poked with needles by random strangers are those who suffers from irrational health anxiety and HIV phobia. People don't go around poking random strangers with needles in public places. It literally does not happen. You were not poked with a needle. Your irrational thoughts are lying to you and causing unnecessary ruminating about a non issue. I strongly advise you to seek out a therapist with whom to address this issue.
Avatar f tn Naru89 this is my 3rd pregnancy and I never had a problem with people wanting to touch my belly before except the mentally disabled guy at my work. I hope I don't have that problem this round ughh, did you finally snap and say back off?
Avatar n tn My 3.5 year old son has several fears that really impact him and us as his parents. He is afraid of loud noises such as fireworks even if they are at a great distance. He will hold his hands over his head and not look up. He is afraid of fire in a fireplace or at a hibachi grill to the point where he will hide under the table covering his ears. He doesn't seem to like the feeling of heat on his face. He is also afraid of loud noises such as fire alrams, etc.
