First of all, I love the XFILES, particularly back when it was Sculley and Mulder vs. Sculley and the other dude (who played the evil terminator in Terminator 2). My favorite episodes were mostly around the Roswell incident and government conspiracies (vs. superhuman powers and paranormal stuff).

I have an odd fascination with Classic Star Trek too... I'm not sure if I'm a "Trekkie" or not, but if it counts I met William Shatner when I was a kid, and also the guy who played "Scottie"---and Scottie gave me his autograph. As I understand it, since "Scottie" aka Jimmie Doohan is deceased, his autograph is worth quite a bit of money. Did you ever see "2001 A Space Odessy"? Yeah, I met the guy who played "Frank" the astronaut--his name is Gary Lockwood. He was way nice and gave me his autograph too. That's way cool in my book. I don't think your poster is the culprit here--just low self esteem brought on by anxiety driven self-doubt.

You have an anxiety disorder right?
I get scared of simple things sometimes... crowds. Opening mail. All sorts of weird stuff. The only way to get over it is to do it even though it is uncomfortable. Eventually it will become comfortable. Yeah, I mostly open my mail now.

I've got Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Panic Disorder. I used to be afraid to run around the track sometimes because I was scared that I would impulsively jump over the side rails and/or get a panic attack.

Anxiety is never logical.
