I'm new to this forum, so thought I'd say hi! I've been reading and things seem safe and comfortable here.

My Question: Does anyone else have a fear of not being recognized by even family members? For as long as I can remember - at airports being picked up or picking someone up, at restaurants when waiting for someone, on the phone, I worry that they won't be able to find me. That they won't recognize me. Even my mom, and my kids.

Hi CJMartin! Welcome to Psych Central! Intro and Being Recognized

I'm not sure if I have felt like or not to be honest. I will have to think about it. Maybe I have and just have no awareness of it.

Generally I think I am so busy hiding so people won't see me, especially family members (outside of my children), that I don't know if I get worried about it.

That doesn't mean it's not something a lot of people deal with though. We're all so unique (which is good because I don't think anyone would want to be like me lol). I'll bet you will find a lot of people on here who have similar stuff go on for them.

We're glad you're here! Intro and Being Recognized

Welcome to the forum. I am glad you feel safe here. I am sorry that you have this worry as you must find it very hard to deal with it. Can you communicate within and help comfort those that are upset? I am not co-conscious so I can't say if that has ever happened to me or not.

BB

welcome
mmmmmm i don't think i have had that fear. sometimes i do not recognize myself. but i have never thought of ppl not knowing me. i relate to wanttoheal about hiding and not having that particular awareness.

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
