Is there such a thing as a social anxiety upset stomach?

I wasn't feeling well most of the day. Then, all of a sudden I felt fine. Now, I am hungry AF. I think it was just some social anxiety acting up even though I've mostly been in self-imposed "solitary confinement" all day. It's just that I don't want to start using social anxiety as some convenient excuse for everything. I just needed time alone, I think.

There absolutely is such a thing (ask me how I know), but you don't need to use it as an excuse. Just know that it is there and learn how to deal.

@IAmJess Yeah, concerts aren't for me either. Plus with all the screaming and craziness, you can't really enjoy the music anyway. I don't see the attraction.

@MarkPaul I wouldn't know. Never been and no desire to.

@IAmJess Well, imagine a bunch of screaming idiots with their phones taking pics while the band plays and there just being a lot of noise coming from all directions. It doesn't offer anything pleasurable.
