Well, I have been struggling with whats wrong with me recently, and I know its probably pretty obvious but just wanted to get confirmation.

Here are some of the issues I have (I'll post more when I think of them)

1. Lack of focus (Heightened by anxiety)
2. Stuttering (Heightened by Anxiety)
3. Anxiety ( :D )
4. a fear of meeting new people (what will they think of me)
5. Anxiety/tension around people (especially ages 10-21)
6. Doubting (self doubt and doubting of the store that I work for)
7. Indecision (What do I do?)
8. Not assertive
9. Fearful of peoples reaction when I have to tell them either bad news.
10. Trouble making eye contact

I'm sure there is more but this is what I can think of now.

Jason,

First off, I want to say that you are one of the cooler, most nicest people I've met. To me you seem very gentle and warm, and you're a blast to talk to, even though we didn't get much quality chatting time in Paris.

All of the stuff that you mention is normal. Now I know that doesn't make it better, but sometimes just knowing you're normal helps.

Check out this thread from a while back, all kinds of stuff we all deal with

Reading it did wonders for me because I thought I was the only one that had stomach problems, and boy was I wrong. It turns out that most of us suffered with some sort of stomach aliment of some kind.

Not to worry my friend, as long as you keep working, you will get to the end of the tunnel some day.
 
Jason,

Every day I find out that there are more similarities here between us then there are differences.

What you experience is part of what I experience (except the age thing 10-21). But I agree with Roland. You are a cool guy who I care for. And I see a lot of strength and warmth in you.

Hang in there, bro!

I could tick every one of the list you mention there, but now things are getting better and I dont do every one every day, and as time goes on I get better. As I'm sure you will.

Jason,

I have been through most of those, and some others, too. But what caught my attention was one item in particular. Indecision.

I have dozens of old posts that I never put up here. They're saved in text files because I couldn't just throw them away, either. I walk back and forth sometimes between my desk and the damn water cooler or the coffee machine, because I don't make up my mind whether I'm thirsty or not.

There's a lyric from Marillion that runs through my head about that. "On the road to indecision, I'll always take the round about way." Yup, that's the truth.

Thanks,

Joe
 
Jason,

I am not sure if it is help to you. But I feel all those things, and more. It is getting better. I can accept some people now with (almost) trust and belief. I can do more with confidence. It is still hard going, but is worth the results, of where I will be one day. You will be there also.
