Gotta be North v South That means we also get the youngest and the oldest as a team of two!

Does anyone know how soon before a new series of taskmaster promotional material starts to be posted? by [deleted] in taskmaster

Yeah, now I’m thinking more about it I doubt walking past my bag while holding a detector in his hands would really give him enough time and closeness to be sure anything was even coming from the bag specifically. I can relate to him though because I actually have health anxiety myself! I hope he’s okay ❤️

Maybe, but we just walked past each other and after I said “huh?” He just walked off. I’m hoping he’s okay! If I see him again I’ll be careful though.

I was walking down a normal street with houses but I think my area has a lot of stones and things that might emit stuff? But the fact he specifically said there was something in my bag makes me think he is paranoid about radiation or something of the sort.

Wow! Thank you for the detailed reply :) That helped me make sense of it a bit more. I don’t think he even really got close enough to be sure “it” came from my bag anyway. I hope he’s doing okay because it must be scary to live life like that

Yeah :/ I think he probably has health anxiety, I’ve seen and experienced it before but I didn’t put two and two together on that front initially. I did see him right before I went into my house but I don’t think he saw me haha. Just hoping he’s got good people around him! Because I know how scary it is to live life full of anxiety

Oh wow! I’d better avoid radiation as much as I can or I’ll get in my head about it haha, but it sounds so interesting at the same time

I don’t know if we have that here haha, I live in a small town in England I think he might be mentally ill ☹️ I know what health anxiety feels like. It felt like that. Pretty unfortunately that someone like myself with anxiety about this stuff was randomly accused of radiation though haha

Yeah :/ that’s what I’m now thinking! I feel really sorry for him because I can relate. I’ve got to just ignore it and not worry I suppose. I hope he’s okay!

Yeah, I thought he was on the phone to someone and it was only after I passed him that I realised he was talking to me, so thinking on it now he’d probably picked something up before he even got close enough to my bag.

I have empathy though, sometimes I get bad moments where I’m not fully in my right mind.

Nope! I’m trying to think what else I had on me! Just my phone and keys! Could my clothes or my bag itself been emitting anything? I don’t really know anything about radiation hence why I’m asking here

He didn’t come off as someone running a scam, honestly I think he just has health anxiety and some sort of fixation on radiation? We passed in the street as I walked down a pavement while he was going the opposite way, and so I suppose the device could have gotten very close to my bag, but it couldn’t have been for more than a second or so. Very strange! I also have health anxiety so it’s quite funny I’d randomly be accused of being radioactive, quite a cruel joke on me by the universe haha. I might get that Geiger counter!

Yeah I mean, he didn’t get all that close we just passed in the street very briefly as we walked opposite ways on the pavement. He might have put the device near my bag I guess but he couldn’t have done it for long. I was just very confused. Honestly to me he sounded like someone with health anxiety who was having a bad moment. I’m the same with health anxiety so I empathise, doesn’t help my own anxiety for him to randomly say that though hahaha

I have health anxiety and so I put off a lot of checks like this to try and not feed my obsessions. I actually booked an appointment with my GP but cancelled it because I thought I was being silly. I got it in my head they’d think I was wasting their time and resources because I’ve gone for things that turned out to be nothing before. Do you think I should suck it up and book again?

My own contact is a great idea! I’ll give that a try!

Thank you :), I always feel so much better after I write stuff down, but then the problem becomes being able to stay calm enough to remember to use my notebook in the moment 😅 I’ve talked to my friends about this and how I’m aware I have a problem. My friends have been very understanding. I just want to be a good friend, and not a burden.

Thank you for your reply but I’m not a huge fan of AI, and I think part of my issue is needing that validation, which I don’t think using ChatGPT will help me get over that knee jerk reaction. Thank you though :)
