Social anxiety disorder

Found this


The defining feature of social anxiety disorder, also called social phobia, is intense anxiety or fear of being judged, negatively evaluated, or rejected in a social or performance situation. People with social anxiety disorder may worry about acting or appearing visibly anxious (e.g., blushing, stumbling over words), or being viewed as stupid, awkward, or boring. As a result, they often avoid social or performance situations, and when a situation cannot be avoided, they experience significant anxiety and distress. Many people with social anxiety disorder also experience strong physical symptoms, such as a rapid heart rate, nausea, and sweating, and may experience full-blown attacks when confronting a feared situation. Although they recognize that their fear is excessive and unreasonable, people with social anxiety disorder often feel powerless against their anxiety.

Significant amount of fear in social situations. Fear of being judged by others as well as being the center of attention.

Dislike of crowded places. Feeling awkward in social circles/events i guess.

For me it's feeling awkward around people.

Feeling boring and alone.

You can talk to people online. But when it comes to the phone or in person you either clamp up, or you talk a load of rubbish because you have no idea what to say. And then because your constantly doing that you inevitably end up friendless. Viscious circle indeed.

Difficulty interacting, staying cooped up, extreme self consciousness

Anxiety in social situations. The name is pretty self explanatory.

I think I gots it

Your heart races and you get out of breath when walking past strangers on the street and you feel extreme anxiety. That's what I get.
