My FLEAS are mostly conversational. I talk about myself constantly and don't mean to, I just struggle with knowing what else to talk about and not wanting there to be awkward silence. Then I beat myself up over it. I talk normally with people I know well, but being anxious around new people or people I want to impress triggers the FLEAS. I also tend to talk over people a lot.
I have a lot of trouble making friends, and tend to blame myself for acting narcissistic, which adds more anxiety, which brings more FLEAS. It's an awful cycle that my husband and I have been working on for a while.
Some other FLEAS include
Hating to be recognized for my accomplishments
Not knowing when I'm being overly harsh until seeing how others react to what I'm saying
I'm slightly agitated pretty much all the time (another thing my husband and I have been working on)
I HATE HATE HATE to be touched. I was never physically abused, so this one is a bit of a mystery to me. However, it's a really big source of anxiety for me. Anything from hugging, handshakes, to pats on the back can give me anxiety problems.
