Have a search for "anxiety disorder" or "low self esteem"; may be useful but as I'm not qualified in this area then your GP is the best place to start if you find that the worry etc is affecting the way you behave normally.

www.patient.co.uk is also a good resource.

Yup, Mrs OBonio is exactly the same. If you find out why, you may be on the road to figuring out 'what women want'. You could make a fortune!

I suffer from this phenomenon myself, and I can only put it down to a fear of losing people and being insecure. It is something only she can work on.

The scientific name is right in front of you

It's "female"

I think it describes most of the species!

[FelixtheDog]

Joefish999 is totally right. The answer is Female but I think the scientific term you are looking for here is 'neurotic' . I feel sorry for you man, that would be a nightmare to me & that is why I shall remain happily single

thx for all your replies! even ladies admitting this compulsion, was thinking of part exchanging her for a younger model,now i know theres more than one bird out there like this will have to reconsider my position

It's a throwback to our human evolutionary ancesters. I read somewhere that, back in the times where we stood a very real chance of getting eaten, alertness was something that could keep you alive. Whereas, nowadays, our lives aren't under the same threat everyday.

Also. Risk assesment should'nt have TV in the Glossary. Apparently, you stand less chance of being a victim of a terrorist attack, than being killed by your trousers but the word "terrorist" puts some people into hysteria.
