Ok, since I'm new here I'm still nervous about sharing my anxiety but I really need to know something. Does anybody ever feel so much anxiety around people that when you talk to someone, you have a hard time focusing on what that person is saying? Have you ever stumbled with your words, like what you want to say can't seem to come out right? A lot of times when I'm talking to someone, I feel they can see I'm nervous, which scares me even more. Another question...when you're walking outside, do you feel like people are watching you, then your body will just suddenly go out of control and you'll do something foolish like fall on the ground? Do you panic when talking on the phone? Or if you're eating in a restaraunt (especially if it's crowded) do you feel you can't swallow what you're eating, can't breathe and then run out? Hope I don't sound silly but these are symptoms I've experienced (still do) and honestly, I'm embarrassed to talk about it. I don't know, I guess I need to talk about it because I always think what I'm feeling is weird. Please feel free to share anything else. Thanks.
