i’ve always been a very outgoing and extroverted person and i’ve never had an issue talking to people and going out into public; however, recently i have had an insane amount of anxiety and i don’t understand why. when i am in public at college or a grocery store i feel as if everybody is watching me and i feel extremely self-conscious. i am anxious when talking in public and pretty much to anyone other than friends and family. the only way that i don’t feel this way is it i’m under the influence of something, but that’s clearly an unhealthy habit that i am not going to start. also, when i am in public i am usually afraid that something bad is going to happen. i’m just a bit confused and wanted to know if anyone else has a similar experience.
