Body get really hot when you're in social situations? I mean it feels like heatwaves are coursing through your body and you feel so overheated that within minutes your shirt is damp with sweat?

That's what happens to me all the time. I just had to make a phone call and my whole body temperature just shot up. It's so annoying. Add to that the racing heart, and beginnings of a lake of sweat and I just feel like a complete freak by the time I set down the phone. Of course it's about a thousand times worse when I'm speaking to someone in person and they can see me.

I know exactly what you mean. Even on a cold winter day i can get sweaty, my feet and hands especially feel as if they burn.

I sweat when I'm on the phone, especially when it's someone I don't know, and it feels terrible.

Once I was trying to explain something in one of my classes and was doing a terrible job of it, and my temperature just kept going up... I don't think I've ever had that happen so dramatically before or since. When the teacher finally looked away, it went straight down back to normal. It was pretty weird, but I guess we all do that to some extent...

I experience this when I have to sit face to face with someone, bloody awful. I usually make up lots of excuses, I need to blow my nose, use the toilet, wash my hands.

It is so uncomfortable.

felt all of those... plus on occasion: my throat gets dry all of a sudden, my voice gets softer and I mumble, and i forget what i was going to say or i make up something that makes no sense, then i laugh awkwardly and wait for the other person to say something. :lol:

Well, at least I'm not the only one who experiences this. Things have gotten so bad for me recently that I haven't left home since Thursday. It's now Monday. I did manage to take out the trash today, but before that I hadn't even set foot outside. It almost amazes me how I barely even notice my hermit nature.

I have that exact problem most of the time. I get really tense and my face goes red and my skin feels like it's on fire and I can't calm down. My heart races so much sometimes I feel like i'm going to pass out. Because of my body overheating, really hot summer days are the worst. I just want to stay away from people so I don't have to feel so embarrassed. This is what happens when i'm forced in situations with a lot of people, I just get so nervous my brain won't shut off and I panic. I know they notice me and must think i'm weird and hard to talk to but I can't help it. I get the same feeling going outside in the middle of the day when the most people are out. I usually go outside at night, I feel a little more calm when I can hide in the dark. I hate summer, everyone is outside and looking so happy. :(

I'm the same way. I absolutely despise summer. It's so stuffy and hot out there that I break into a sweat the second I set foot outside. I have tortured memories of driving around town in the summer heat in search of a job and feeling so embarrassed whenever I had to speak to someone and my anxiety was causing my body to overheat. It was like hell.

Like you, I often go out at night too. I'll barely set foot outside earlier in the day because it's just too much for me. Every time I do it I come back home so sweaty and disgruntled that I have to change. At least at night I feel like people aren't staring at me. The cover of night is wonderful sometimes, but not an ideal time to try and get things done. To be honest I don't know how I'm going to make it through this summer. These "hot flashes" as I call them are murder.

Yeah i'm definately a night person. My neighbors must wonder about me because I don't really leave the house in the day time. I remember when a car I used to own didn't have air conditioning and it was horrible. If I had to go anywhere the heat and humidity would make me look a mess by the time I got anywhere. My face would be all red and I would be all sweaty, and that would make me even more nervous and self concious. Sometimes in the winter I can control my anxiety a little more because I have an excuse to hide out and cover up. Summer is definately the most depressing month for me.

Good to know someone feels the same :oops:
