Guest guest Posted August 1, 2006 Report Posted August 1, 2006 My son has OCD in germs and stuff but he is obsessed about people watching him..... at school he wont put up his hand or ask the teacher a question or do anything that could cause attention be it positive or negative...... so if he is sick he won't ask to come home, if he is missing a part of an assignment or didn't get the question he won't ask..... If they are doing sports he gets so worked up that everybody is watching him (even though they arn't), if he forgets his glasses to school, he would come home leaving his bag there and not tell a teacher crying and upset because the kids may hve seen him without glasses. (we live 5 minute walk away from school). He had the chance to go on a Harly son motor bike at a gala, and I could see he wanted to but he couldn't do it because he felt the whole gala was watching him and so on...... He really believes the whole world just stops and watches him all the time. The psychologist said there was a name for this but can't remember it to look it up.... Just wondering if thisis OCD or part of his low self esteem. Cheers and thanks in advance Jackie (New Zealand) Quote
