Hi all, I think this is my first foray into the world of social anxiety.
I was recently diagnosed with aspergers, which is a form of autism where you get extra horsepower in your brain (:D) but unfortunately have social problems (:ohmy:) in the form of social anxiety and difficulty handling relationships (romantic, friends, work).
It's flaring up at the moment because I've joined a web forum where I have done a lot of reviews which are not yet published. This should happen over the next couple of days. However some members of the forum can be aggressive and can turn on people and I now have reason to believe they won't like some of my opinions on a couple of things I've reviewed.
I can't rationally explain why this bothers me - but I'm getting the adrenaline and trembling which hasn't affected me for months now, and I'm already beating myself up and dreading the response to my reviews.
If anyone wants to talk about this stuff and how they deal with it, I'm all ears!
