    Nonstop Analyzing After Conversations Makes Me Hesitant to Actually Have Conversations

    I've been trying to make an effort to talk to people more. Unfortunately, after every conversation, I analyze it for an hour, and I end up feeling horrible. I'm always left with a negative perception of how it went, even though the other person probably sees it as routine small talk. I don't...

    Overly Sensitive - Have Trouble Getting Over Things

    I don’t know how to accurately explain my post, but I would consider myself overly sensitive, I guess. Certain things really bother me, and then I have trouble getting over them. As an example, I work at my dad’s company (I highly recommend never working for a family member). I’m the person who...

    Everyone I Know Always Wants to Go To Dinner - And They Don't Take No for an Answer

    Does anyone else absolutely hate going out to eat? To me, it's like the worst idea ever. For whatever reason, most of the people that I know are obsessed with restaurants. It's your birthday? We must go to dinner. They don't seem to take no for an answer, and it just overwhelms me. A lot of...

    So Much Difficulty With Normal Functioning Due to Rigidity, Inflexibility, Etc.

    I feel so overwhelmed in everyday life, mainly because of how much I struggle with what I consider to be stupid things. I will preface my post by saying that I have multiple issues, so it's difficult to know whether it's due to GAD, ADHD, ASD, or OCD (or a combination of them). I don't know how...

    Don't Understand Office Christmas Parties (and Pushy Colleagues Pressuring Me to Attend)

    I couldn’t have said this better myself. My sentiments exactly. Work events always feel so orchestrated and phony to me.

    Don't Understand Office Christmas Parties (and Pushy Colleagues Pressuring Me to Attend)

    Update: I did not attend and just ignored everyone’s nagging. The annoying lady that I mentioned in my original post ended up getting drunk, and her husband had to drive her home. So embarrassing that you would drink that much at an office dinner. There shouldn’t have even been one in the first...

    Don't Understand Office Christmas Parties (and Pushy Colleagues Pressuring Me to Attend)

    Yes. I don't think he actually cares, but he gets annoyed if I complain about it. He'll start with how they're nice people and why wouldn't I want to attend. I'm better off not even saying anything.

    Don't Understand Office Christmas Parties (and Pushy Colleagues Pressuring Me to Attend)

    I work at my Dad's company and pretty much keep to myself. I like most of the employees except for one person. She's overbearing and annoying, and I try to avoid her as much as possible. She's obsessed with having a Christmas party each year, and my dad lets her take care of it. I was thinking...

    Getting Stressed Out When Things are Moved/Changed

    This is my first time posting here. I've been to multiple psychiatrists, and I've had so many different labels thrown at me (ADHD, OCD, Social Anxiety, Asperger's, Depression, etc.). I feel like I have a bunch of varying/overlapping issues and no clear understanding of how certain symptoms...
