Well there is nothing wrong with your Bravado.

Are you a bodybuilder then?

[ldvk07]

well in fact i am not 100% muscles.
But in fact i`m intimidated by some people..

[laurence2]

How can someone intimidate you, when you say that no one would want to mess with you?

[dot.hawkes]

do you watch alot of reality shows and order lots of take a ways? and who do you identify with? Kevin Bacon in footloose or John travolta in Pulp fiction?

[ldvk07]

i dont mean "physical intimidation" but there is that something special which`s makes me feel rejected from the society of not being like everyone else when i go out.its hard to explain

[dot.hawkes]

if you are not like the other 56 million people in this ole Uk then yesw u are odd, but me thinks you are just isolating yourself cos you have no rhythm, get some decent tunes on your puter and you will be fine

[ldvk07]

yeah i like to isolate myself..to avoid social contacts.yep
this happened once i listened to a great dance tune and wow i was completely over excited!but sometimes i think too much about failure and in 3 weeks i am taking my computer studies exams imagine that.i am crying now

I don't think you are paranoid. I believe you probably have mild anxiety of social situations. Of course this affects all sorts of people, no matter what they look like, as it is a mental thing. Based purely on how you feel inside.

Just tell yourself if people are looking at you, they are not judging you, they may even admire you. Breath deeply, lift your head up and just walk.

How much attention do you pay to other people you see? Probably not much, so just remember noone is paying too much attention to you either.

Do you live in a city?

[ldvk07]
