| I had one done about 2-3 years ago. It was painful and the doctor was not, how to say it, gentle at all. Or understand that I found being undressed 'down there' in front of her uncomfortable. I have one coming up at the end of this month and am quite nervous about it. It is with a different doctor t... |

| I have thought of this before and am so glad social networking sites and mobile phones with cameras did not exist back then. What was bad would have been so much worse. I can imagine the sort of things that would have taken place if these devices existed e.g. photos from changing rooms, toilets, bea... |

| Yes. And an ice queen, selfish, rude, unpolite etc. People also assume I am always unhappy and tell me off for not smiling enough. The first time this happend I was five. The teacher asked me to smile and at least pretend I am happy. |

Hahaha this thread made me laugh. The use of ö ad å. You forgot the ä  I like all three though, ABBA, meatballs and IKEA. Mostly the latter. I went to Ikea a couple of days ago 
Maybe me being Norwegian has something to do with my liking of the three. |

| I used to have really bad emetophobia when I was younger. I would think of vomiting and how horrible it is several times a day and sometimes wake up at night thinking of it. The thoughts sometimes triggered panic attacks. Every time I heard someone had a vomiting bug I would stay away from them for ... |

| I don't understand having idols or obsessions with celebrities. People fainting when they see someone 'famous' etc. will always baffle me. And then of course the same as ECJ said, why people say one thing and do something completely different. |

| I seem to end up in awkward situations by accident quite often. I have accidentally accepted a date before as well. And what is worse, gone on it. The guy who was a distant friend at the time asked if I wanted to go for a drink. I stupidly agreed, thinking it was just that, a drink, not a date. He h... |

| I hate driving. I am not a natural driver because I have very poor spatial awareness. This makes me very anxious because I feel that an accident is bound to happen sooner or later and if it does it will be my fault! I am exactly the same! Narrow streets and busy traffic make me especially nervous. ... |

| As a child I used to get told off by teachers for not smiling enough. Today I get told I either look miserable, scared or stressed. Usually my mood at the time is fairly neutral. I wish I knew the secret to having an all-round positive and smiley attitude, but I don't. |

If it's something important they'll leave a voice mail or send a text message. I never make calls for fun, just to see how someone is doing etc. There is just somet... |
