Does anyone else have body language issues while being in social environments or wherever you think people can watch you?

Whenever I'm in social environments or wherever I think I can be seen, my body language changes. I become tense in the shoulders, my heart beats faster, my adrenal glands are constantly firing, I question whether I make the right gestures. I feel like I'm always giving a presentation or something. I question whether I'm ...

I've been suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder for nearly 7 years.
I can tell you with 100% certainty, that it does get better. I used to have breakdowns when I had to go somewhere. I wouldn't stop crying for over an hour, and my ab*s*ve father didn't help much.
I still have a lot of gains to make, but you will be able to do the things you did before again. You will fight this. ...

It seems that as far back as I can remember I get alienated by other people. I was never invited to parties in high school or college. At work if any of my co-workers threw a party our outing I seemed to always be excluded from the invitation list. Since high school I had only a few friends, but they were relatively close. As they got married one by one I found myself alone. Now, ...

Nobody cares, all these are you alright questions are pointless and even if I SAY NO IT'S NOT, there's a fake caring, and who can blame them, everyone has their on stuff going in their smiling life....every job interview I take ends up horrible wrong, even an interview at my dream company went wrong due to my depression/social anxiety...lonely as hell, no one to go to or to just...you know be there, seems like I ...

I don't know if I have asperger or autism. But I know I have dyslexia. I don't know if this is the right place to talk about this. But I'm trying to find some place where I can find people I can relate too. I'm having trouble understanding why people are mean to me and treat me badly. I'm not afraid to be myself. But it still hurts when people judge me when I'm in ...

I do and I'm currently trying to quit for a number of reasons. Did anyone here do the same thing at one point? If so how did you quit? I know there's also the nicotine dependence factor, but social anxiety is definitely a big trigger for me when it comes to feeling like I need to step outside for a cigarette (especially at a party).

Hi everyone! First of all, english is not my mother language so sorry for my mistakes. If you don't understand what I am trying to say, feel free to ask me so that I can make myself clear.
Anyway, I am a 20 years old student girl and I have anxiety issues. Almost two years ago I was diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (which is mainly caused by stress and anxiety) and since then I ...

As soon as i get close to other people, i feel like they are going to bump into me or hurt me and therefore i do not want to be close to them physically. I know it is not claustrophobia because i am fine in tight spaces, it is just that when people are around me, i feel squeezed and like i cant breathe. I hate hugs or if someone touches my arm. And im ...

i wasn't sure where the best place was to talk about these topic(s) but thought i may get possibly more "better" answers here or variation in individuals and problems.

From what i read, social phobia and social anxiety disorder are basically the same thing, or almost the same thing. I haven't been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder, however, i have been most recently diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder and major depression, it used to just ...
