Muenkel 0 #1 July 14, 2003 This may have been covered before, but didn't find it in a search. What situations and/or circumstances really make you uncomfortable that don't necessarily make most other people uncomfortable? I have two: 1. Crowds! Can't stand to be in a crowd. I have to get out. 2. Feeling trapped physically. Always need an escape. This is why anywhere I go, I generally will bring my own car and not be a passenger.

AggieDave 6 #3 July 14, 2003 Crowds don't bother me as much as the vibe I get from the crowd can. If I get a bad vibe from a crowd, place, etc I'm sort of on "high alert." I know that sounds stupid, but trusting my "spidey sense" has saved my butt a few times, by having a much quicker reaction time to something that could have turned very bad very quickly. If I hadn't trusted the vibe, then I wouldn't have been as ready to respond as I was. Make sense?--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

bkdice 0 #5 July 14, 2003 Brewing fights / flaring tempers between friends. Nothing makes me more uncomfortable than watching that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rebecca 0 #6 July 14, 2003 Same here- crowds, tight spaces I can't easily escape. I've got a pretty good case of claustrophobia- probably why I like this sport so much... Also, people who invade my personal space when I'm not prepared for it. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

BlueEyedMonster 0 #13 July 14, 2003 1) Chicks or Old icky men hitting on me. 2) Any situation that could result in being in a horrible accident and living...and having to figure out how to kill myself with my tongue-joystick controlled wheelchair. 3) Public showers...

Deuce 1 #14 July 14, 2003 Watching unwelcome teasing or low-level harassment. I hate it when somebody tries to communicate in jest what they don't have the guts to say outright. It drives me nuts to see somebody being made uncomfortable by somebody who knows they are being rude. I'm obviously enough unbalanced that it rarely happens to me, but I hate watching it.

Rebecca 0 #17 July 14, 2003 I'm sensitive to that, too. I HATE it when people smack or chew with their mouths open. you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Slowfaller 0 #20 July 14, 2003 Your two examples pretty much nailed it on the head for me too. Can't stand large crowds or crowded elevators. At work I take 6 flights of stairs to avoid the elevator. Also, it's good excersise. When I drove my Honda CRX (two seater) I got very used to driving my self everywhere my friends and I were going. Now that I have a sedan I'd much rather be the driver...even if no one else is in my car.

I get panicky at times depending on the situation. I can go to the mall if I'm usually with someone, but other than that, I'll order what I need off of Amazon or get it at the Wal-Mart when things are slow. But, I can walk onto the WFFC solo or the most crowded of DZ's and it isn't a problem. Go figure. I drive everywhere.
