So things that make me uncomfortable...I'm a little uncomfortable trying to verbalize what makes me uncomfortable!

1. Actually my number one uncomfortable moments usually begin with 'We need to talk...' Every time I heard that phrase from my mom or dad as a kid I went into panic mode because I was terrified of getting in trouble! It almost sounds like I was abused or something, but seriously I HATED getting in trouble or being told I'd made a mistake or did something wrong. I definitely think this quirk has followed me into adulthood because even at my jobs I was always concerned about making a mistake... Could it possibly be something called perfectionism? Haha
2. Talking on the phone! I know that is crazy, but I really hate talking on the phone - especially if I'm having to call any type of medical office. Usually it's because the receptionists aren't the friendliest (or at least in my experiences) and so I feel automatically like I'm bothering them or something...I never like to be wrong or a bother!
3. Being one-on-one with someone who intimidates me or who has wreaked havoc on my self-esteem. I'd say this one is pretty self-explanatory. I will say this is the one situation I usually force myself into even if I really don't want to do it. And I'm pretty good about playing it cool if I have to. :)
4. Having to refuse someone or tell them they made a mistake (see Item 1) I hate feeling like I could potentially hurt someone's feelings or make them feel less...so usually it's really, really, REALLY tough for me to be upfront...but again, I still make myself do it, even if I don't like it.
5. When my jeans are too tight around my bottom. Jenni said uncomfortable, right? I'd say this should include some physical aspect too! I fully expect that my expanding belly will quickly be added to this list.
Hopefully these are rather normal 'uncomfortable' experiences and I'm not alone in this! Do you have anything uncomfortable to add??
I always get really uncomfortable for people when they perform. Idk, like you feel their pain when they have awkward presentations and such.
