Does having people around you make it hard?

Post Reply New Topic

Sometimes when people are around me, i tend to either get distracted very easily or just flat out can't think straight. Im great at math for example but earlier today i was put on the spot with a math question (wasnt a hard question either), and just cause i felt on the spot i couldnt get myself to think of the answer. All i was thinking in my head was "Im not gonna even try to answer that" and "Lets figure this out". Kinda like half my mind was in for the challenge while the other one felt like it was better to just try and avoid it. It adds up and eventually becomes overwhelming. Afterwards i didn't feel like talking to anyone and became horribly thirsty.

Sometimes it feels like alot of the time when i open my mouth, things come out the wrong way, so even if i do have the right answer or the right thing to say, the way i say it makes me look like a jerk or an idiot.

Sometimes.

I also suck with video games in stores because there are people and the fact I am standing, not sitting. I do better at home.

Things also come out of my mouth wrong so I sound like an idiot.

Also I have troubles answering sometimes because it's real life not a forum, so I have no time to sit and think of what else to say. Small talk is harder so that is where I am dishonest there because my answers are the same. I just don't want to talk about that boring stuff.

Yes this happens to me quite a lot. I tend to freeze up around company and often blurt out the wrong thing.

Yes. This happens most of the time. My processing speed slows down a lot around others. Sometimes it has been to extent I cannot recall my own name for a while or do the simplest arithmetic.

Same here. I think that's one reason why I don't like using the phone either. I feel put on the spot.
If someone speaks to me when I'm doing something I often drop whatever I'm holding, like it's either ears or hands but they can't both work at the same time. I only buy cheap drinking glasses these days

Yep things like this happen to all the time.

Yeah same here.

Yes
I work better alone in my own space.
Other people can be very distracting and make me feel nervous.

I noticed that if I am forced to interact with people or stay in a small room over run with them, I am physicaly exhausted the next day and need to sleep all day long to recover.

Often when around other people I find myself to be the "quiet one." My words become mumbled up and I literally don't know what to say.

When people are around you probably put your concentration on behaving the right way. When I am a whole week around people, I am really tired. Not from the work, but from 'behaving'.

Yep, it absolutely happens to me too.
