Social Anxiety?!
Question:
Social Anxiety?
I have Bipolar disorder I and BPD, I take meds. My question is that I don't like people to touch me and recently I don't like anyone to compliment me. I usually wear no makeup and when I dress up people make a big deal of it. It causes so much anxiety I feel like I want to throw up. I can't seem to find this phobia....What is it. My doctor will tell me one thing, but I want to see if anyone else experiences it. My family thinks I am strange....I can hug my daughter..she is the only one I will touch.
Answers:
I am Bipolar II with OCD, I also do not like people to touch me (but I am trying to work through it so I can get in a relationship)
For some people it is a fear of germs, it is not for me - I just don't like strangers touching me. Just tell people that you are uncomfortable and wish to stay apart a little (not in an unfiendly way) and usually they will respect it
I do not have the compliment problem I cannot help you there
