Ok here is a question

I feel intense anxiety when I am around people especially in confined spaces like a kitchen or a room.

What do I have?

An introverted personality.

It doesn't need to be anything other than that. If you run gibbering from the room because of it, you might need to go into more depth, but I think a lot of people get anxious around people without requiring a medical term. One of said people being me.

Yeah.

So I have Asthma and today I had to deal with a lot of dust while cleaning... a terrible idea because I am allergic and even the manual ABOUT this dust allergy basically goes "no, you shouldn't be the one who does the dusting"

Anyhow... So now even after medication I still have bad asthma (and I can't take anymore or it would be an overdose)

But I want to know what these Chills I have are... They are all over my skin and it feels like... What happens when someone runs the tips of their fingers across your back.

I only get this when I have a particularly bad dust reaction... But what is it called?

[Frumple]

That's, uh. ASMR, I'm pretty sure. Something related, at least.

[Neonivek]

That's, uh. ASMR, I'm pretty sure.

No that is a pleasant feeling.

This is like a cross between chills and painful swelling.

Edit: I found it... Tingling

D'you know that William Blake poem, The Tiger? In the first stanza:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Tiger, tiger, burning bright   
In the forests of the night,   
What immortal hand or eye   
Could frame thy fearful symmetry?

Have I been pronouncing "symmetry" wrong all my life? Is that an old-timey pronunciation? Is it just an incomplete rhyme (despite the fact that all the other stanzas have a clear-cut AABB rhyme scheme)?

[TD1]

Sim-eh-tree.

It's an approximate rhyme.

[Rolan7]

Maybe it makes more since in British-English, I can't actually imagine how "tree" rhymes with "eye".  One sounds like the letter E, the other sounds like the letter I.

[Sheb]

Maybe it's an old pronounciation thing? The same way that I've heard people singing "Drunken Sailor" sing "Earl-eye in the morning" rather than "Eae-lee  in the morning".

[Avis-Mergulus]

I looked up some readings on Youtube, and apparently I haven't been pronouncing it wrong, it really is just incomplete or approximate.

Holy shit them shivers, though.

[TD1]

Some poems rhyme tray and poetry. It's not like they actually sound similar, though

[Arx]

It's a sight rhyme. It's a bit weird, and honestly it makes the poem a lot weaker for me. :/

[Dozebôm Lolumzalěs]

Ay = a-e (a as in hay, e as in tree)

trae
poetre

it's similar

[i2amroy]

If you want you could look on it as the breaking of the rhyme on purpose. After all, part of the poem itself speaks about how no hand or eye can frame the tiger well, so the fact that it doesn't rhyme could be a meta level of following its own topic (i.e., not even the author here can accurately capture the fearfulness of the tiger, thus the broken rhyme).

[TD1]

Seeing tiger spelled with an i really makes me grouchy

[Helgoland]

Taiga.

There, is that better?
