Anxiety Support / by Otaku108

...See more I have a really bad fear on confrontation and have extreme social​ anxiety. I'm not sure of what the phobia tearm for this is, but i deffenitly have it.  I have anxiety attacks when i have public conversations or when i am questioned about something i say in public. Mostly, i try to keep my conversations with people i trust, one-on-one.. some of the people though, don't understand or get that, and continue the conversation loudly, for others to hear.. and usually, it may be a personal subject i don't want others to hear.. it usually ends up in embarrassment and humiliation and utter breakdowns for myself.. people don't understand until i'm already a blubbering fit and then its too late and i already have people staring and wondering what is wrong with me, which only makes it worse. I have learned to just keep quiet and only talk to the one or two people that understand my fear..  I cannot keep eye contact with people when talking. i also cannot stand when more than one person talks at once at me or i stress out and usually end up hyperventilating​ and screaming..And most of the time, people find this rude or out right obnoxious and personal.. i don't mean it to be direct to anyone, but it's the only way i can handle myself. I didn't mean to make this very long, but i somehow did... does anyone else have these problems? I just hope i'm not the only one with this kind of problem..
