Fearful

	Even with my family I hide my face and never make eye contact. I spend all day inside doing nothing productive... I feel the root is the insecurity, hating my physical appearance. When I go out, I wear a hoodie (with the hood on, always) and I never talk to anybody. But that info is almost a given. You all know exactly the type of person I am, and how it feels. Although I want to dig a bit deeper. My secondary fear is the 'presence'. I wonder if it's from being alone so long, but I'm not sure. The presence is basically a feeling of another being in the room even when I'm alone. It doesn't feel like a human is there, but a sup---atural being. Despite not believing in ghosts ect., I cannot fight the intense fear with my logic. If I see any motion out of the corner of my eye I get panic attacks from it. I hate it. Also things like mirrors are the worst, I hate seeing myself, and they also distort motions and make me jumpy. Can anyone else relate to this, or know what it is?

	I dont know if my avoidant personality is quite as developed as yours but I do understand. I have intense irrational fears of the same kind. Such as when I see something out of the corner of my eye and what not. I have paranoia of some sort. You are not alone. Have you seen a therapist or been on any medications, if you dont mind my asking? Hang in there.

	oh, my i have feelings just like you, I became so avoidant I don't even leave the house and I have anxiety real bad too. I just got put on buspar for my anxiety can't tell the full effects but I think the medicine is helping but they say when it becomes this bad youu should seek professional help and that is where I am at right now, I go see a therapist on the 27 th I think you should look into that too.

	I feel just like you Shapes. I spend all day inside doing almost nothing productive. And when I'm outside I prefer to have a hood on, I don't like it when people I don't know look at me for a long time and I don't like eye contact. I always feel that someone or something is watching me. It could be a person or a ghost (even though I don't believe in ghosts). Some times I hear noises, who aren't there. And I hate looking in the mirror, at night I'm affraid I'm gonna see something or someone who aren't really there, a ghost or something like that.
