After watching The Truman show in the cinema when i was younger, for a year after, thought that taking me to see this film was my parents way of letting me know that i was the star of a reality show and never did anything bad, rude or annoying incase people thought i was that way and (becuase i just hit pubity) didnt masterbate for about a year :lol:
Haha! I admit i had a stage i went through where i was slightly suspicious of being in some sort of truman show scneario. :lol:
Also have this weird thing when i'm on the bus sometimes listening to music, thinking about if people could hear what i'm listening to out loud. :| :lol:

The Truman Show style paranoid delusions are recognised by lots of psychologists these days, I remember reading a good article about it all once, it's a fairly common type of paranoid schizophrenia (in it's extreme form) sometimes (but not formally) referred to as "Truman Syndrome"

I won't drink a full glass of anything, no matter how big or small the glass is. could be a styrofoam cup must be half. even if I'm terribly thirsty.

Haha, same here. Once i've been to a cash point i have to keep the other person waiting as i stand there organising my wallet. Plus, anything below a 10p coin isn't allowed in my little change pocket thingy. :lol:

Also there's random times where i'm guilty of acting debates out in my head of what i'd say, even if i have absolutely no reason to anticipate it happening. :|

New one that's appeared over the last month, mid strength psychedelic trips get me to the brink of an anxiety attack for the first 30-60 minutes. It's all fine once I'm over that peak, but it's really getting to me, never happened before on any substances until now.

This, + I avoid new situations
+ I try to avoid open & crowded places
+ I'm a bit paranoiac. If I hear people laugh or speak silently, I always have the feeling I'm the person they're talking about or laughing with. And I sometimes have a hard time trusting people out of fear of conspiracies
+ I can't handle big changes too well
+ I'm very shy, thanks to this it's very hard for me to start a conversation with someone I don't know too well (I don't have much social contacts because to this)
Same, i used to bunk school all the time because of the 2 top reasons.
I have abit of ocd, i have to touch something like a button which dont really do anything, else i think something bad will happen, sometimes i challenge myself to do dangerous stuff, like touch something hot or else im going to die, and feel strange if i dont.
I used to feel wierd stuff, and feel depressed when in crowded places and open places, kinda overcome it now though.
Used to get anxiety alot from doing drugs, and hearing stuff which caused anxiety, sometimes still hear loud noises in my head, stopped doing drugs altogethor now.
Dont really like having convo's with people i dont really know, but starting to overcome it now.
I twitch alot, and dont notice, but other people do.
Im scared of heights and small spaces, thinking about small causes slight anxiety.
I talk to myself in my mind, like plan down what im going to say to people, anyone else do this?
and some other stuff, cant remember at the moment though.

I do this compulsively, it's what I think attributes to my sleeping issues. When I lie down to go to sleep I'll plan out entire conversations for several hours, it's shit. I do it before going anywhere too.

Yeah same, i loose alot of sleep over it, it just automatically happens, really annoying and cant stop it too.

this is me sometimes

Often I'm in situations where I feel I should have said something but didn't so I imagine the way a conversation where everything goes my way. Can't say it doesn't help! :lol:

i find it hard to talk to people i dont know and its getting to the point where i'm struggling to make conversation with my friends when we're out somewhere, its easier to sit in silence then to say something (i worry about everything i say incase people think i'm weird) also i get really horrendous moodswings, some nights i cant sleep because im really angry for no reason and sometimes it just manifests itself as complete apathy. I've had panic attacks when i'm at my local because it was 2 busy and my whole body went completely numb and i felt like i couldnt breathe

also depression

like ppl can read your face or something, and they instantly know what your thinking, you think, but actually it's just your mind fucking with you. or something

moodswings, tell me about it! Depressions, like theirs something missing in your life =/
(i worry about everything i say incase people think i'm weird)
i'm also having trouble letting go stuff. Mostly stupid little stuff that don't matter. And my biggest fear is losing a discussion. For instance, i'll do EVERYthing to win, even if deep in myself i know that i'm wrong. I'm also a controle-freak. And when i'm stoned, i want everything to be perfect, i want total control over everything: i'm thinking: have i still got my wallet, my keys, where's my bike? FUCK MY BIKE. If ppl are at my place, I don't want them to touch too much because i'm afraid something will go wrong, or that i'll loose control, not in a crazy-in-the-head kinda way but more in a way i can't really explain :s

sometimes i can be superhappy, but when my parents say something to me i'm suddenly very rude, when in fact i don't want to be rude to them.

Surely that's just thinking about things though? If someone didn't occasionally think about certain issues/debates I'd probably assume they were a moron.

I do have a bit of a thing about talking to people I almost know though. I'm good with people I've never met before and mates, but then as soon as someone comes in who I know, but not all that well, it's incredibly hard to just go start a conversation. Blag, but I find the principle of faking confidence works every time. Used to be terrible in social situations, but you've just got to do something about it and try talking to someone once in a while :)

for some reason i think we all would be good friends in real life, because we understand these things from eachother. There's not many ppl i'm saying this too tbh. Probably because i'm afraid they laugh me at my face and tell other ppl about weirdlittleme :/
