top 100 things you should never say to someone with SA!
 
Hey guys,
thought i'd compile a list of annoying things people say to me like

....Why are you going red?

and

..'Your rather anxious arn't you'

I could go on all day, but i'm sure you can fill in the gaps for me.

god the amount of times i've heard this one! particularly from strangers :screams: why do they feel the need to stick their bloody nose in? Most of the time i just smile at them but there have been occasions ive just glared at them. Or worse ive told them that ive just had some bad news and that they should think b4 they speak :d

"Let's all grow moustaches and dye them red for comic relief, anyone who doesn't is a spoilsport and wants all starving children to die"

A little specific, I will admit.

12. I wish u'd shut up, ur making my ears hurt.

"You need to build up your confidence when talking to key stakeholders and build a relationship, or you'll just end up being performance managed and then be managed out of the business"

There are many things wrong with statements like this, first of all it's barely in English (in english it goes something like "Impress that guy over there or I'm going to end up sacking you"), second, all it does is increase stress and make you panic even more when trying to impress. Which makes you feel like you're not impressive. Which causes more stress due to above statement

Re: top 100 things you should never say to someone with SA!
 
Edit: 12 and a half. "Does anyone else find quiet people rude or annoying?"

I had one of these at the end of last year, but it was an even more frightening variant:

"Tell us who you are and tell us something interesting about yourself."
