Social Phobia, Fear of Confrontation, Social Anxity, etc.
I have a really bad fear on confrontation and have extremesocialanxiety. 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 conversationswith 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 humiliationand utter breakdowns for myself.. people don't understand untili'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..
I have something like that. Its a little different though. I wont even speak if im in a large group. It makes me physically uncomfortable and all i want is to find a way to leave. I also prefer one on one conversations. I find them easier. When more than one person starts to talk to me i usually end up the odd one out somehow. It frusturates me that people just bring other people into a private conversation. So youre not alone in how you feel at all.
I am the same way and it's the reason why I am a loner. Too socially awkward. The only place I feel comfortable talking to strangers and making conversation is at work But outside of that I am a wreck.
I'm kind of like that but I wouldn't say it's that extreme for me .
Like sometimes when I'm in public and I start to feel people staring at me I start crying, not really crying but more of tearing up I would say.
I also cannot make eye contact while talking to someone, I start to feel anxious.
Sometimes, when people look at me I feel like it's a staring contest and I feel like I can't breathe then I start to hyperventilate to calm myself down .
When I'm around a group I start to feel very uncomfortable and I cannot stand still I'll end up scratching myself as a distraction but it doesn't help...
I kinda feel the same. I avoid going out because I'm scared of even simple things like going to the shop or taking the bus. I hate making eye contact with people- I start thinking 'I've been looking into their eyes for too long, I'd better look somewhere else' or 'if I don't make eye contact they'll think I'm weird.'I freak out about so many little things like that, just walking paststrangersmakes my heart race and I start hyperventilating and feel like I could faint.
Maybe not exactly the same but I understand exactly how you feel. You're not alone.
