Taken randomly a while back. Don't remember who I snagged it from.
Fears, not phobias, people. There are some things that I find scary that I didn't mark. I only marked things that I am either extremely scared of, or am actively worried about when it's not necessary. Some things I didn't mark because I don't think they're possible.

...Yeah.
I've hit kind of an art block. I've been sketching like crazy but I can't for the life of me finish anything. I got Photoshop CS4 recently, and have been fiddling around with it. Love of my life has gone missing and nobody knows where he is. Classes start soon. Dogs are better than cats. Han shot first.

*clicks her teeth together* you don't like being touched, either??

Yeah, it makes me seriously uncomfortable. Really close friends it's okay sometimes, but for the most part I don't even like people standing close to me.

That's exactly how I am! I can hug my dad, but my jerk brother poked me in the shoulder the other day and I get really upset just thinking about it. I've been known to snap at people I don't even know if they touch me.
It's this really weird pain, sort of like electricity and fire inside, right?

I don't feel it physically so much as mentally. I can get angry or nervous if someone I don't know or like touches me. A lot of the time I'll start to feel sick and want to hide. It's pretty strange. And inconvenient.

It's the same for me, but I feel anger and anxiety in my gut as well as my mind. Do you know anyone else like this, or have you talked to anyone about it? Everyone always thinks I'm crazy when I tell them, it's so good to know I'm not the only one with this problem!

I can't say I've really ever met anyone who hates being touched as much as I do. Haha, I've never talked to a therapist or anything about it because I know they'd try to fix it. And to fix it, they'd probably stick me into those situations. Maybe that's self-destructive of me. Eheh.

That's my reasoning, too. Sometimes my parents suggest just getting used to it, but they just can't understand how bad it is.

I'm lucky enough not to live with my parents anymore, and am more or less in control of my life, which makes things much better. It's easier to be more comfortable around people, somehow.
I hope things get better for you.
