Re: Saying peoples names
I tend to be a bit uncomfortable using folks names too. Think its fairly common for people with SA.

Re: Are you Autistic?
Pretty sure Ime not from what I can make out. I do have one or two of the traits (struggling with eye contact for example), but I dont think Id be classed as autistic at all if tested.

Re: Social Anxiety and Paranoia
Oh lord yes, all the time, with the examples youve given (except the bus drivers, as I seldom use buses).

Re: Anxiety symptoms
Yes, for me severe forehead sweating is main SA symptom.
It also happens for non anxiety reasons though, when its hot or strong sunlight is beating down on me

Re: The Weather Thread!
I was in a blizzard once in mid July (in Scotland).

Re: Health and fitness!
I Walk briskly for about 60/70 odd miles a week. On a 'bad' week it can drop down into the 50s, on a 'good' week can be around 80 miles plus. Do some hill/mountain hiking in the better weather, too....

Re: How do you celebrate your Birthday.
I eat a meal of Haggis, oatmeal and potatoes. Usually at home on my toad, but on occasion itll be out somewhere.
