Do you feel especially anxious when listening to others?

It does make me anxious, but that's more a side-effect of getting frustrated because I'm not taking anything in. It makes me feel like I'm failing. But yes, in general I do have pretty high anxiety.
I've had ADHD tested as well, but I scored almost zero on that, so I'm fairly sure I don't have that. I go back and forth wondering if I might have some sort of autism even if the tests say no, but after what Miguel'smom said I think it's plausible that it's related to that. I think schizoid symptoms can come across as autistic sometimes.
