Common Questions and Answers about Fear of talking to others

Avatar f tn honestly I've never heard of anything like this before. It seems like you may feel masturbation has some kind of negative connotation. Masturbation is very healthy and it doesn't have to be a choice between masturbation and sex. Sometimes masturbation can be more stimulating than sex. During sex you are concerned about how your partner may feel and if your partner has their orgasm before you do, it could prove unsatisfying.
Avatar m tn I personally think a lot of people talk to themselves and do so frequently and it is not a problem. Some live in a rich imaginary world and they talk out loud to themselves out of loneliness. It's a coping mechanism. And others just do it to self organize. Harmless any way around it. If "it" starts talking back and telling you to do things that are criminal or nefarious in nature? Okay, we'll get worried. But talking to yourself, pretty common.
Avatar f tn It's just anxiety. I wordy about that and this is my third baby. Just try to relax and find something to get your mind off of it. Don't watch anything or read anything that will trigger the thoughts. Good luck on everything hope your pregnancy goes well.
595125 tn?1219834270 One person in one of the threads mentioned that when you feel that fear coming in big tidal waves to just let it wash all over you instead of fighting it, I tried it and it works. What you have to remember is that the fear in you subsides, it will not last, you just have to arm yourself with coping mechanisms.
4952411 tn?1361471481 I used to hate it but now... Well I figured its better to try to get it out instead of holding it in... I coach my kids B Ball teams in the Upward program.. I have found that there are really a lot of men out there that I can talk to I just let my feelings go one day a few weeks ago... I was scared and worried to death.. The guy looked at me shook my hand and talked to me for over an hour.. Man it was the best feeling to me I wasnt laughed at or put off etc...
19299007 tn?1506385602 I've been dealing with anxiety for about 4 months now, and really, this came out of left field for me. Ive never felt anxiety just talking to my best friend, we're fine to just talk to one another. My guess is that it's about my mom who won't let me hang out with my friend (thats an INTERALLY new subject, but to brief, she doesn't like her for being gay and I'm not, and that I like calling her on skype to hang out).
148987 tn?1287805926 I think we tend to be more supportive here because there is less support for us, treatments are still in trial stage and we tend to talk less about it to those we socialise with. That adds up to a whole lot of shared empathy, compassion and information sharing. My Dad died of lung cancer and my heart goes out to you and your friend's family. He was on drip morphine, spoke only on the outbreath, and died quietly in his sleep. My Mum died of emphysema; very devastating...
365714 tn?1292199108 I tend to feel afraid to leave the house, take chances, take risks... Fear of having a meltdown and feeling lost... I also tend to feel numb inside, like I should be feeling a lot more than I feel... Those particular lines speak to me.
Avatar f tn Because at that certain time it was on my mind. He just asked me to say a prayer. That it takes more of person to be able confess to such a thing. There was no talk of hell. To me when a person is down they think more of religion and of a God. I know that is wrong. When they are fine it is not even a thought. Just the way of the world. Finding that something you can have faith in. Doesn't even have to be a religion. That is optional.
Avatar m tn This is my first experince in a forum and i am greatful to be finally talking to others who can help me find my way through this with understanding and true compassion. Feels really good to just be here typing and reaching out to others. Please any support would be a great relief to my battered soul.

Avatar f tn This is hard and may come across a bit bazaar, but I would give it a shot If I were in your shoes. To overcome anxiety, one must understand the logic of why the brain is feeling threatened, it sends messages to the body saying its under threat. New pathways need to be created to overcome the old programming. So for example, if you panic over a fear of flying, you must start flying and let the brain realise that its all okay, and reprogram the thoughts.
Avatar f tn Hello it has started a few months ago, I had often little pimples around my lips that I took for cold sores and I was afraid to spread it to another parts of my body with bodily fluids like saliva, bogey or tears, so I washed my hands all the time, I was paranoid about it but I could still get out. I was just little afraid of touching objects from outside. Finally I have take a blood test and it was negative.
Avatar f tn it could be a controlling thing or because he may be afraid of going to preschool. You may want to mention it to the doc though to see what they think, because i think his fear is a little extreme. Has he ever been in daycare or does he have play dates or anything? and if you go to the playground does he play with the other kids or just stay with you? Sorry alot of questions lol I would just consult the doc to see what they think.
Avatar n tn m a sane and well-balanced professional guy, yet I find myself fraught with fear from the potential risk of pre-seminal fluid entering via my urethra. I know your psyche can play mysterious games with you -- such as imagining every symptom you ever read about. I'm experiencing some nausea, and joint pain (elbows & backs of knees), and I'm dead tired -- serious fatigue. Not certain if these are areas of lymph nodes that could be affected. No fever.
Avatar f tn How about talking to your doctor about anxiety and OCD? That would be a logical place to start in order to make this better.
Avatar f tn A person recently was telling me about Amway products saying that the supplements produced by it are very good compared to others .and it contains some 80% iron whereas others contain only 13% iron and other products produced by it are also very good for pregnant women . can it be used instead of the supplements prescribed by the doctor?
Avatar f tn You make some good points that we have tended to overlook due to fear of the side effects. Thanks for your input.
Avatar f tn I have a fear of going to hell when I die. Currently the biggest thing is I got a new bed set and it had some unknown red dye or something on it. I have an irrational fear that touching the red dye will make me go to hell. I can't seem to get over it. Any suggestions?
Avatar f tn I pictured every symptom of MS happening to me. I waited for ON. I waited to lose the use of my legs and my bladder in public. That was in 2009. 4 years later I am about the same as I was in 2009. I thought MS was the worse thing that could ever happen. In 2010 I found out I not only had MS but PPMS and I had had it since age 2 so I had untreated MS for over 40 years before diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I googled way too many symptoms on schizophrenia, and now I am obsessing over the fear of getting it. My therapist and psychiatrist said I dont, but what if I do get it!? I have no symptoms but I am just so afraid. My OCD is so bad now about it. Anyone else go through this?
Avatar f tn So, are you asking why was your father messing with you, if he already had your mom as a sex partner? If that's, indeed, the question... then the short answer might be because he had a proclivity to abusing women for his own selfish and depraved sexual needs. Then, again, the answer may be even deeper and far more complex than that. It's hard to say what's in the hearts and minds of others, and what compels them to do the awful things they do.
Avatar m tn We ended up getting Xbox live and he plays games with other kids online.. alot less of the talking to himself now..he has alot of friends to keep him occupied and talkin to them..
Avatar m tn scarlett11 Try a sleep app that has dozens of recordings of therapists telling you how to go to sleep. You get to select which one you want to listen to, and I often listen to the same recording for months. Sometimes I fall asleep in the first few minutes but for that to work, I have to pay attention to what the speaker says.
