  • I have no real confidence
  • I sleep with a cuddly cat!
  • I hide my emotions
  • I don't have any friends that you could call close (probably due to the hidden emotions)
  • The person you see is an act

I think that is a classical sign of ocd unless im making a mistake :) It could even be said to be a "ritual" of some sort.

I can't listen to the radio on certain volumes (odd numbers except multiples of 5) now that's pretty OCDish but I just like things being tidy I wouldn't say it was OCD I just don't like mess.

Cool are you a male or female?

Why do you hide your emotions and what sort of emotions do you hide?

What do you call a "close friend" and why do you think you dont have one?

If the person outside is an act, what is the real you like and when do this real person comes out?

NOTE
Please let me know when you dont feel comfortable with my question and feel free to ask me too. :)

Hmm, the volume thing is **definitely** an ocd, have you tried speaking to a GP about it or a specialist?

It doesn't bother me enough to see someone about it, my friends know it bugs me so it doesn't bother them to see me changing their TV or radio volumes and they find it amusing trying to annoy me by changing the volume then hiding the remote and watching me going crazy and trying to find it.

Male

Why do you hide your emotions and what sort of emotions do you hide?

Almost everything. When people ask how I am I lie to them and say I'm fine or I answer with something like 'I'm tired!' I hide my anger, after having anger management when I was thirteen I think, I've learnt to keep it in.
As emo as it is, my first serious girlfriend really messed me up inside. I always had my suspicions she was cheating on me, then when confronted I would get, 'Oh no you're the only one I ever want etc...' Had someone add me on MSN and say he was her boyfriend and they had been going out for a month, he wanted me to stay away from her. She still denied it.
Since then I've become very careful with who I tell my true feelings too, after she twisted it all around to make me feel terrible. I had two councellors, a psychologist and I was on anti-depressents. Tried to kill myself also, but that didn't work (obviously!)

What do you call a "close friend" and why do you think you dont have one?

A close friend to me is someone I can just cuddle up to and tell my problems, someone I can feel comfortable with no matter what. This dawned on my three weeks ago when my Gran died of cancer. I went to see her because we got called into the hospital, within an hour of leaving she had died. The only person I've hugged about this was my Mum. I've not had the chance to talk to someone about how its affected me and to be comforted.

If the person outside is an act, what is the real you like and when do this real person comes out?

Outside I appear quite cold, I find it hard to sympathise with people and I often give the impression that I'm quite a scary person. (I don't know why, I'm more feminine than some girls I know. I am straight though ;))
The real me is hard to describe, I don't really know what I'm like because its only when I'm on my own I show it, and It's not like I study myself. I'm kind, appreciative and caring. I might not show affection very well or often, but my friends know that deep down I do care about them - I'm just not one who runs about hugging people and all that jazz.
I'm still a child sometimes, at nineteen years old I really cannot sleep well unless I have my blanket and my cuddly cat. It doesn't bother me, I've never let what people think of me worry me too much. I run around the house/my room making silly noises a lot of the time too.

I've been single quite a lot also, I'm not sure whether this is due to lack of confidence approaching girls to ask them out (talking to people is fine, getting phone numbers is fine, its the actual doing that I flop about on). I'm too much of a friend. Last night for example; my friends party - we all get chucked out at 0100 after some idiot causes some problems. I've nowhere to go so my friends offer me a place in her house with her other friends. Ends up with me and three of the girls in the same bed. I mean, usually it's like - 'Get on the floor you man' but nooo! Not with me.

Hmm. Derailed the thread a little >_>
