Wow, what a blog topic prompt! There are a lot of things in life that make me feel uncomfortable.
Here's the current list:
Anxiety
Arsehole drivers
Being over 80kg
Bicycles coming at me from behind (the man who mugged me and a friend in London was on a bike and attacked me from behind)
Bugs of any type, particularly spiders and leeches
Cabin crew (although now I know one, it isn't as bad)
Confrontation
Constipation
Dentists
Hairdressers
Kissing people I don't know very well on the cheek as a greeting/farewell gesture
Looking at my bank balance
Mammograms
Pap smears
People who smoke
Restless leg syndrome
Running late
Sand at the beach
Snakes
Socialising in a group of people who I perceive to be better than me (eg people with careers or super bloggers at conferences)
Swimming in the ocean
Talking on the phone with people I don't know
Talking to good looking men
Talking to women that I admire (see super bloggers above)
Taxi drivers
Telling people I worked as a 'secretary'
The first kiss
Using the R word
Walking the streets alone after dark
Working in an office
Clearly, going by this list I have written a lot about what makes me feel uncomfortable! I'm sure if I thought about it for longer, it would get to be an even bigger list. Having generalised anxiety disorder makes me pretty uncomfortable about a lot of things. My low self esteem plays a major part too, obviously.
I think I need to work on reducing this list.
What makes you uncomfortable?
