Not really here

And yeah, you're normal.

Ever seen the commercials for Zoloft? The little bubble dude that walks around? You're describing one of their commercials.

At the minimum, you've got social phobia. At the maximum, schizophrenia or dissociative disorder.

I'm not telling you to go take some Zoloft - but I'd suggest you go see a counselor and find out if you do need either some therapy or some form of medication. Most people with social anxiety can just get over it by learning techniques for breathing and thinking nice thoughts about yourself, that type of thing - people with something more major need the meds.

(Psychology Major in college - dropped out 3rd year - I've had my own psychological and "invisibility" issues - trust me on this one.)

Im slowly becoming more confident in myself, there was a time when I couldnt make eye contact with snyone at work to the point where someone asked if i was autistic. Dont even bother with making eye contact though, I hate people looking me in the eye- even my friends... anything over about 2 seconds just makes me cringe. i say go and make friends with people even more unassuming than yyourself and become their leader! it worked for me- the time i spent with kids from the years below me at school has made me almost able to hold a conversation with the people in my year. not quite though, and its a little bit late now seeing as i left last week forever!

I believe it is common, if not normal. I often feel disconnected from society, although I do not know if it's for the same reasons. I just think differently about life than most other people around me, I think. Are you a dominant personality, or are you more timid? My wife has a problem interjecting herself into conversations, because she isn't pushy enough, so people just kinda exclude her- which causes feelings somewhat similar to what you're describing.

You sound scary. OOooooo
