| Oh yes, the blood pressure machine. Oh no, you are not the only one, I also can not stand it. It makes me feel like if I was suffocating, even my face gets red. I get more or less the same feeling when people touch me or stand too close to me, and even worse if they decide to hug me. Very tight clot... |

| And yeah...being asked if I need help in a store is so irritating...I know sometimes they have to follow that ten-foot rule of greeting the customer, but can't they tell when I'm walking AWAY from them and not seeking their attention, I don't want any help?? The funny thing is a lot of times they a... |

| It happened to me for my whole life, and despite my effort on trying to make myself a more convincible person by learning and applying body language techniques, it never got better. I still face the same kind of suspicious that I had to face during my years as a teenager. Or the people don't believe... |

. Asperger Syndrome
. Bipolar Disorder
. Social Phobia with panick attacks
. one episode of Schyzophrenia (extreme paranoia, hearing voices)
. Selectiv Mutism
. Synesthesia
Although, the much I learn about, the much I think Asperger is not a malady. The same goes for Synesthesia. |

| Embarrassed I guess. I certainly do not appreciate the attention and concerns of others and wish I could disappear in that moment. I usually shutdown more than have a meltdown. It really confuses NTs when I can't respond to them, freeze up and go mute. I hate it. This is pretty much like me. When I... |

| I have always been like that too. Can't stand people touching me, and I don't really understand any possible reason for them to do so, especially when the don't know me so well - which is in most of the cases. Hugs, especially, are a true pain for me as I feel physically ill, like if suffocated or s... |

| Questions like 'how is it going?', 'what have you been doing lately?', 'what do you do?' always drive me insane simply because they are not genuine questions, they are just representative of how polite the person is trying to be by asking them. Also I find very annoying people asking me these kind o... |
