I hate new people.

So I have horrible anxiety, I have ocd and panic attacks. And GAD. It's all very annoying. However I am SO anxious around new people, it's ridiculous. I don't have Social Anxiety--I'm fine in crowds of people I KNOW. I'm normal with people I know. But I hate making phone calls--makes me anxious. And new people is a definite no no do not touch me. I live in a group home for the mentally ill, and I came downstairs 3 days after I moved in right and no one told me there was a cleaning lady so I went into the room and BAM there she is and I froze then SPRINTED back upstairs and hid in my closet for 6 hours till she was gone.

So I had to go to my new psychiatrists office, thank GOD K (A staff here and one I had an argument with not too long ago) came with me. I swear I will love her forever now. In the elevator we had to share with 2 men and I shrunk into the corner, I sit away from everyone in the waiting room, I sit by the door fr away in the docs office

I am right there with you. Difference is I will wait for the elevator to come back so I can ride it alone. AND just because I have been introduced to someone does not mean I wan to be touched or be their best friend.

I spent all day Christmas day in my room because I did not feel comfortable with sharing the holiday with my niece's step daughter and big dog were visiting.
