I'm really not sure.
I do know that I suffer from extreme anxiety when it come to other people v*. Whenever I try to explain this to other people, the common reaction is "oh yeah, I'm a sympathy v*er too" but that's not what I experience. Being around, seeing or hearing other people v* sends me into a full blown panic attack. My heart races, I shake, I can't think straightand all I want to do is get away from the situation. When I just see v* it's not as bad but I still get anxious. Even on TV, it bothers me a lot and I get that rush of anxiety.I also find I have a huge fascination with it, like I'mcompelled to look even though it upsets me.
I used to think I was afraid to fly but it's not flying I fear, it's the other people on the plane that might gets* that terrifies me. Unfortunately, I fly a lot and it has happened. The anxiety is hard to bear sometimes but flying is the only one that really gets to me. Now that I'm a bit older, I don'tavoid social situations although you couldn't pay me to go to an amusement park. I have also struggled with the idea of having children because of it. Can you believe that???Just because kids v*.
The difference with me is that v*ing myself doesn't really bother me. Granted, unless it was induced by alcohol, I have not v*ed since I was about 10 (I'm30 now)but when it is alcohol induced, it really doesn't phase me too much. I never think about it in my day-to-day life.
So what would I be classified as?
