I am afraid of people looking at me and public attention. Last time someone stared at me for more than one minute I started to freak (screaming)!

I am always afraid I am being watched, so I behave as such. I never do anything I wouldn't want others to see.

I cannot use public restrooms. Not only because of the filth, but because I am afraid someone else will be in there, and they will be able to hear me urinate. I won't even use the toilet at friend's houses- I can only use my own. I have gone days without using the bathroom just because I was away on a trip or spending the night at someone else's house.

I myself am not afraid of water, but when I go out with my two younger sisters, I am afraid that if there is water around and they go near the edge, they will fall in.
Kinda weird, but a horrible thing to live with.

Ever since I went to my friends house for a sleepover(a couple months ago), and woke up in the middle of the night with the stomach flu, I've been terrified of going to her house. Anytime I go there, I slowly get the feeling like I'm about to puke and I always end up calling my dad to take me home. Everytime I go there, I always end up getting a fever and having to stay in bed for a few days. It's horrible. I also get this same feeling in very fancy resturants or when I go somewhere new and foreign.

I have a horrible fear of falling, especially around other people. I refuse to run when my feet are wet, in fear that I will slip, and it makes me feel uneasy to run at all on concrete. I guess this comes from the fact that I broke my hand once in a fall, and that every time I fall, others ridicule me.

I'm afraid of tons of social situations that people do everyday. I'm scared to go to the bank and post office. I won't order food in a drive thru with someone else in the car. I'm terrified of talking on the phone, except to people I'm really comfortable with.

I'm afraid to pump my own gas. I think it's more of a social thing, but I've had my license and a car for 7 years and never pumped my own gas.

I'm terribly scared of sending an SMS (text message) to people. So I often reply late to messages that have been sent to me, because I still have to swallow my fear before picking up my cellphone.
