I'm enjoying this, it is as CL calls it, 'a sanctuary'. 'I want my work to be a sanctuary, a safe place where we come together. Each half hour should offer a brief, hopefully humorous, respite from divisive and inflammatory rhetoric'.(#576)
I would say that Sheldon's anxieties mostly stem from knowing too much. So for example if you study organic chemistry early on, it gives you a molecular level understanding of how viruses and bacteria are the enemy. Sheldon didn't want to be popular, because of all the touching. He even ends up in detention and gets suspended because of his fear of germs. I like the way they play with the retrospective time line; contrasting what we know now with what was thought in 1989.
Also Sheldon states one of the mantras of this site, just because everyone believes something to be true, doesn't mean it is, ie: think for yourself!
