Am i retarded why do people call me slow?
I'm not sure that people on an internet forum can evaluate whether or not you have a mental disability by analyzing one post. Your punctuation certainly leaves something to be desired, but that is par for the course on forum posting. People who treat you this way are not your friends. Friends are supportive, and would focus on your more amiable attributes or would attempt to assist you in obtaining a diagnosis and/or help for whatever problem they perceive you as having.
Am I retarded?
Sorry for my grammar, english isn't my native language. Let me start. I'm 16 years old guy suffering from DP/DR, anxiety, paranoia...but that's not the point. I'm being rejected by EVERY SINGLE PERSON I COME IN CONTACT WITH. I'm bullied, both emotionally and verbally...I'm being called 'retarded', 'dumb', 'gay' etc. I was being rejected by f***ing 5 girls (never had gf) which made me ask myself 'Am I really retarded?' I am in fact REALLY antisocial guy just because of the fact that people call me by names. I went to psychiatrist and she said I am really smart (Have an IQ of 130 but don't give a f*** about it). I just don't know who to trust anymore. I really think I AM retarded.
Do mentally/retarded people scare you?
I have to be honest and say yes. I'm in no way prejudiced and I wish I wasn't afraid, but I guess we're frightened of things we don't understand. Whenever I see a disabled or mentally disabled person I always give them a smile if we make eye contact. It puts me at ease and I hope it does them too.
Social Anxiety or mental retardation?
I'm 26 years old. I don't know whether I have social anxiety or if I'm mentally retarded, challenged and or slow. It's hard for me to keep up in social, fast talking, conversations. I find it difficult to pay close attention to detail and learning different things is very challenging. My stress really goes up in a classroom or business like environment. I don't feel all "there" in most interaction, especially with intelligent, young people my age. Because of this, it's hard for me to really live life. I've thought about committing suicide quite often and it has made me very depressed. I want to be able to be loved and have friends just like anyone else. But, people treat me different all the time like and outcast.
What does an anxiety attack feel like and can it be triggered by smoking pot?
I had my first panic attack triggered by smoking pot about 4 years ago. It was the most horrifying experience of my life. I was unable to move. I started seeing really pixelated, could not speak, started to convulse and thought I was going to die, that I was "going to be retarded forever" or thought I was in a coma and that's what it was like for everyone who was in a coma. Or I thought I was have a seizure I was shaking so violently.I gripped to a beach ball and thought letting it go would cause me to die. I was trying to call and ambulance because it was so painful mentally. This lasted in a varying capacity for about the next week.I must say, I was really stressed when the initial event occurred, had not eaten all day and was extremely tired. I was convinced the pot was laced, but many other people smoked it so I can rule that out. This event changed my life in so many ways. I felt like I had seen an entire different side of myself and perspective on the world, which is a heavy thing to see something so dark. I also feel more empathy than ever before. It's a double-edged sword.I was finally diagnosed with panic disorder about a year ago. Everything culminating up to that was a major struggle including constant anxiety, a hospital visit, and too many colonopins. Now I do psychotherapy and take a small dose of an SSRI. Lucky for us, anxiety is easily treatable and I'm on the way to leading a much happier life. I suggest you do the same (and never let anyone tell you you're 'just stressed' or 'just a stoner' if your anxiety is really bothering you).Use your experience as a blessing-- despite the hard stuff, it will make you more well-rounded and understanding. Also, skip the sativas and stick to indicas.One more thing.. I do not blame marijuana for my panic disorder. I believe it simply got the ball rolling on the inevitable.

Do I have social anxiety? Whenever I'm around people I feel like they are judging me. I'm really bad at socializing, I get embarrassed easily and try to avoid embarrassing situations.
I, myself, can become anxious in social situations and have to make myself be a slightly social person. I used to call myself Socially RetardedI really prefer my own company most of the time, but that's not the way our civilization functions.I had to accept that most people don't give a moments thought to me. If you meet someone at a party, it's ok to just say hi and move on.Rather than standing around being embarrassed at your ineptness, do what makes you comfortable.Avoiding every situation where you might feel awkward isn't very rewarding, nor will it serve you well in your future. Most work environments require positive interaction with your work peers. There is only one way to gain skill in interacting with others and that is to do it.I was transferred from a job where I was pretty isolated to one where I had to meet and talk with new people every day. At first it was very difficult, I became tongue tied and reverted to stuttering-which had been cured in my childhood. It's a signal to me of social distress.Over a pretty short length of time, however, my feelings of embarrassment went away. I was competent in my job and knew it, but daily I had to prove it to myself. Then I didn't.While, in retirement, I tend to be insular I'm very glad I also have the ability to be social when I want to.Don't know if this is an answer you can relate to but I offer it to you for consideration.

My mom is socially retarded?
My mom is going in vacation for a month and she's getting worried about me staying alone at home. I don't know any of my neighbours. Guess what she did: She went to all the neighbours to tell them to take care of me while she's gone. But hear this; she told a neighbour, a middle aged man who is a busy person to take care of me when I'm gone, and introduced him to me. She started telling him about me not eating breakfast in the morning, how I drank her vine while she was away once, etc. she told him if he could check on me. I was so shocked and he was awkward. He was like 'I can't feed her' he joked. She embarrassed me so much. I told them that I can take care of myself and can eat breakfast and that I'll be fine. I'm 17 year old girl. I have social anxiety. And when she unexpectedly introduced him to me I was at home in my pyjamas, I just took shower. Don't you think this is embarrassing?!
