Fear of talking with strangers
Common Questions and Answers about Fear of talking with strangers
fear
I didn’t think much of it until I began to notice it was gradually becoming worse, to the point where I would not only fear talking to strangers but also to my friends and family! I feel as though my brain is not connected to my speech if that makes sense? It’s gotten to the point where I fear having a conversation with anyone because I know it will happen and therefore make me feel embarrassed and frustrated!
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.
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.
m usually the loudest at parties and my voice bounces off the walls, I dont know your upbringing details but in my case I have concluded that it was more a matter of wanting to be heard over everyone else when I was smaller (and everyone else doing the same thing, all talking at once) and it became a lifetime habit. I conciously try to be aware of how loud I speak but then again people tell me that they cant understand me because I'm mumbling! What to do??
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.

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.
But from past year or so, things have gone out of control. These days i m afraid of going out, and spend most of the weekends just sitting at home and weekday working late in the night.
I am always worried that i would get in fight with someone and i always think that people somehow notice me even if i m in a crowd and hence i become point of attention all the time. I have had couple of fights in my previous life and as a kid too but they never used to bother me until now.
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.
s thorn pricks, thorn hollow, will not increase the risk of infection.
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.
I too struggle with panic attacks and the fear of them returning. Have you talked to your dr about this? You might want to consider talking with a therapist. I do know that if you let the fear take over your mind it is only going to get worse. The best advice I can give you is to talk to someone and try to face the fear. Get back in your car and go for a drive even if it is only around the block. Each time you do it it will get easier. You have to take your control back.
Thank you for reply. "loop" is prerecorded video that doesn't last for long and is used on such web-sites to trick people into thinking they are talking with person that is showed on video. Something like in that movie "Speed" with Sandra Bullock(if you watched it) when she tricks hijacker into thinking nothing is happening in bus.
Find out what is your biggest issue and force yourself in it. For example, I was afraid of talking to strangers on phones so I forced myself into volunteering as a Caseworker. I needed a lot of help and was honest about my fear with the woman training me, but I beat the fear. Also, remember that not everyone is out to get you. Hope this helps.
A fear of death is quite normal and is actually a fear of the unknown. Has he know someone or something (pet) that has died or seen it on TV? I don't know your spiritual background, but whatever it is, that is a good place to start talking to him about it. Speak to him about (your belief) of what happens after death and that it is a natural process of life.
I have had mild ocd since around the time before puberty. It hasn't negatively effected my life till recently. My ocd symptoms from the past have included the need to keep things arranged perfectly. I wouldn't feel too anxious if my environment became temporally "messy." I even found it positive since being organized helped my life. I recently have moved home from collage and have been living with my parents for a year.
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?
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.
Ya, it's annoying everyday when I go into work and some of the girls I work with say "what's wrong?" "You look really sick today, you must be feeling bad" and I get the "what's wrong" all day long from a couple girls. I'm like "I'm fine!!" Lol I know they're not trying to be annoying but it gets old.
I'm 19 weeks almost 20 and I continue to get all kinds of negative thought. What if I lose my baby? How come I'm not feeling him move a lot? What if something happens wrong? Just all kinds of thought. I have major fear of losing him and I honestly don't know why. Has any other moms felt this way? What helped get your mind off of it.
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.
I am now struggling to cope with the fear of dying, its only recently become very serious, in feb of this year i found out i was expecting my second child, and because i thought i could get pregnant then surely nothing is wrong with me, then tragically i lost the baby and after going through all the motions of miscarrying i suddenly thought well something must be wrong and it has gone on from their, i am constantly checking myself, thinking im pale, checking my tongue, thinking my fingers tips
