In my class, we were offered an extra credit opportunity. All we had to do was go and see a play in the auditorium and bring in the ticket stub. So I went to the play today, and noticed that my mind was racing profusely the whole time. I was so anxious that I couldn't even make out most of what the actors were saying. Also, as hard as I tried, I couldn't sit comfortably. My breathing was shallow, my mind was racing, and my neck felt extremely stiff. Every time I moved it left or right (for instance, when the actors went slightly off-stage) I felt like my neck just wanted to twitch. Also, my hearing seemed ultra-sensitive. Every time I heard a door open or a cough, or a sneeze, it would distract me from the play and my mind would start racing. I could barely follow the general plot because of all of these distractions.
This isn't the first time something like this happened. It always occurs when I'm around other people. For instance, when I'm with my friends watching a movie, the same things happen and I can't follow the plot at all. I just kind of fidget with my hands to hold in my restlessness while the movie plays out (even if I'm interested in it!).
Anyway I just couldn't settle down, focus, or relax for the life of me. The neck twitching is the worst. One time during the play I even tried to crack my neck to loosen myself up a bit, but then I could feel feel this tremor there. Strange, I know, and I don't have a clue if any of this is even related to aspergers
