Ok, for starters... I have difficulty eating in front of certain people. I can eat normally and calmly around my family and my best friend, but when it comes to eating in public (such as a restaurant and school) or in front of my boyfriend, I just can't. I feel so paranoid, like they're watching me eat, or judging me. I know they probably aren't, but I feel like they are anyway.
I just feel paranoid in general. I feel like everywhere I go, anything I do, I am being watched. Its especially awkward when I'm showering, changing clothes; doing anything especially private. It drives me insane, and I can't talk myself out of thinking that. Its like being followed by cameras or something.
Another quirk: I have difficulty looking people in the eye. Again, especially my boyfriend. I envy the people who get to gaze intimately into each others' eyes and not feel awkward or self conscious. I don't have the greatest self confidence, but I feel that looking someone in the eye should come easily and naturally. It simply doesn't for me.
I do a lot of weird things. When I talk in front of people, its embarrassing. I get sort of twitchy, like I can't move smoothly. I get sort of twitchy when I'm trying to eat around others too. I can't move around naturally.
What is wrong with me? Do any of you do these things?
* It's not really excessive twitching, its more like... I'll sometimes move jerkily. For example, if I was really nervous, and went to turn my head to the right, It'd be a fast movement rather than smooth and natural.
