concentration problem - anxiety?

New postby andrea.blue on Sun Aug 09, 2009 3:50 pm

I'm 19 years old and I have concentration problems...esspecially when I'm around people, but not only. I often forget things, for example a person tells me to do something and I completely forget about it in 2 minutes, or I often don't remember specific words( lapsus).
People aften call me: the forgetful. I experiment also difficulies when talking.In writing I do fine...I don't have any problems, but in talking it's much difficult. I often have the impression that I haven't expressed well what I intended too . Maybe one cause of it might be that it's possible to have social anxiety( a mild for... because I can handle social situations, not extremely well, but...acceptable).
Although I'm not stupid, actually by taking an IQ test I've discovered I'm a bit above average and I was amongst the top students in my class( in highschool). I do great when it's about doing things by myself, but when are people involved I find concentrating more difficult. Actually, sometimes I can do the most stupid things in social settings ( like forgeting wich arm is my left arm..LOL...and others).These problems are really serious sometimes. Aaaa...and I think I often experience inattention. When a person explains something too me I cannot concentrate in order too understand well what's explaining too me ( for example: when a teacher explains smth to me).
I also have too add that I listen almost all the time music and I'm often daydreaming. Can that be an important cause of concentration problems?
The final questions are: Could it be possible that my worries and anxiety in social settings could cause my difficulties in talking and concentrating ? What prolem could I possibly have that auses all this?
P.S: Sorry if I've not written very correctly...is just that english is not my native language...:P
