Have you ever felt so uncomfortable you felt like crying?

Have you ever felt so uncomfortable in a social situation that you felt like bursting out and crying?

Yes - when i am the center of attention i feel that way. Once during a speech i had to do in highschool i almost lost it - i had a vivid visualisation of running out of the room - i stood there shaking and going red almost in tears because of how my body was reacting. I eventually calmed down though....thank goodness.

Yea when I went to my first therapy session.I was nervous about it and this was the first time I really talk about my problem to any one in years.My emotions just got the better of me and I stated crying.That's only time I cried in like the last 10 years.

YES!!!! and i have many times

i cry all the time. when i feel very anxious i start to cry, even in front of other people. its embarrassing

I'm sitting here in a small room of approximately 2 by 2 meters, solitary, behind a computer screen. I have been sitting here for the past 8 hours..8 years...hah. What a blast.
Yes..I feel like crying.
But yeah...I can relate. Not so much feeling uncomfortable as feeling hopelessly...umm...lost? What the fuck am I doing here kind of thing. What the hell are they talking about? Am I even here? It saddens me. Boo hoo. I don't know what else to type.

i have cried in situations that i was uncomfortable in . not while i was in it though - i hate to cry in front of ppl . i'll just take a walk and the water works start popping off . its really annoying.

all the time.

Yes, I've recently moved to a different section at work, and I've wanted to burst into tears at numerous points as I've felt so uncomfortable and anxious.

i usually cry when im alone.

Yea i have. In fact i did nearly cry i had tears in my eyes that i was trying to blink back and not let my family see.

today i almost cried at dinner, sitting alone as always, i feel like shit today, is it really because of the bad weather outside

Many times, usually on weekends. Sunday mornings are the worst. Work as well. I see so many sad people. It makes feel down.
Don't feel like doing anything

Lets' do it anyway

Yes during class presentations where they don't give you much time to prepare or in comfortable social situations when I suddenly notice myself acutely envying those with better social skills. When I went to a really rowdy party, I was the only one not talking, laughing, touching etc. I was self-conscious the whole night but suddenly I started to panic and feel like everyone was staring at me and pitying me. I had to rest my head on my lap to hold in the tears but the anxiety paralyzed me for about 5-10minutes in the same position, I was afraid that if I moved people would look up/follow me. Eventually I rushed to the bathroom, one girl noticed I was crying, I just made up some shitty excuse like my eyes are watery and they're stinging really badly. I eventually did bawl my eyes out on the ride home, I was so humiliated. :/

I was on a date with a woman. I was so anxious. We wnt hiking and I just snapped. Cried. Cried and cried. It was all too much for me. My date didn't know what anxiety was.::

Maybe I need smoke bombs that I can throw whenever it gets awkward so I can just slip away quietly...

or a suicide bomb, hee.

yeah, i had a job interview a few days ago... and the interviewer chose a different person to go first, and i could over hear their conversation- and the girl being interviewed was smart, outgoing, and had this bright personality (nothing i have).... i was close to tears & honestly thought about walking out the door, like why am i here? but i just sat there and scrolled through my phone until i calmed down.
one time i did start crying was when i went to the doctors by myself... i didn't realize that i'd have to pay... and that really caught me off guard and i felt really stupid... the nurses there seemed to think i was a nutcase... they kept asking what was wrong... ugh! also cried going to family therapy... just having the therapist look at me with that scrutinizing gaze when i walked in. my eyes started to get glassy last month when i worked a temp job and my employer yelled at me for bringing in a purse (it only had tampons in it... it was that time, and i had taken the bus there and i had been told there was a shelf i could put stuff.. but apparently not) i cried every night i worked that job because i got yelled at so much. people think i'm dealing with some huge secret problem, but the reality is it's that it's them & interacting with them causes that reaction in me. i hate being analyzed scrutinized etc. i will break into tears pretty much instantly (most situations i'll get glassy eyed but i can hold sobbing until i get to my car)

Yes, and if my mum is around at the time, I have the added problem of trying to stop myself or she will make me feel even more horrible, because she is one of those people who think crying is weak.

Yes, this is usually how my panic attacks end by me bursting out crying. Because of all the emotions running around and panic i end up crying because i don't know how to deal with it. ::

i do but i never cry , i know it would be worse to cry in public, but even alone i don't cry
