Andrenaline Phobic

A lot of people are adrenaline junkies. They love the rush of endorphins when they skydive or go on a rollercoaster or do anything new and unexpected. I really think that I'm the opposite of that: allergic to adrenaline. Adrenaline doesn't make me feel good, it makes me a sweaty, shaky mess. And my threshold is really low: all it takes is a little deviation from routine or a little bit of change to send me into a jittery state. My stomach gets twisted, I shake a little, I get very pensive and quiet, and waves of dread run through my mind and body. That sure ain't no high; it's a low, more like. So add that to the long list of things that are wrong with me.
