It seems to be worse when I am walking, around a bunch of people I don't know. When I'm walking at work lets say (a large grocery store) I find I'm always wondering where my eyes should be, if I'm staring, I'm always trying to not look weird and it makes me weird/feel weird. I won't know what to do with my hands, you're not allowed putting your hands in your pockets so I always feel awkward. My heart races and speeds up.. and I kinda feel enclosed by everything because someone might be looking at me thinking, "jeeze what's wrong with that kid"
lately its been kinda buggin me, I said hello to an older friend at work today (while walking) and all that came out was a weak, shaky voice and it was embarassing. I have some, maybe one or two close friends that I will regularly hang out with, and a lot more not so close friends who I could be better friends with but choose not to for some reason.
seems thought that this isn't a constant feeling, some days I'll be calm and collected, most of the time I feel like quite the mess though.
I remember two years ago, I had to do a 4minute speech for english class, and I worried constantly about it for months, it really had me scared shitless. (worried even before it was assigned to the class)
Does this sound like social phobia? I also have another thread of $#%^ wrong with me
