[QUOTE="SaskiaKC, post: 2265534, member: 487111"] [USER=401801]@JoKalsbeek[/USER] Lovely kitty avatar. :) I sympathize with what you posted. I am very introverted, with a number of social and other phobias; if I were to start listing all my "labels" to people their eyes would just glaze over and they would avoid me from then on. Either that, or they would tell me to just "get a grip" and join them in whatever activity they love that I would love if the whole thing didn't terrify me so. So I don't tell people I'm diabetic/have diabetes, have panic disorder, anxiety disorder, mitral valve prolapse syndrome dysautonomia, or agoraphobia, unless they ask, and the manner of their asking determines whether or not I try to answer them. It is easier for them to think I am a wuss, a wimp, and sometimes it's also easier on me to not have to struggle to join them. My cat doesn't care. ^. .^ [/QUOTE]
