How do you feel in public or social situations?

I just need to know how normal people feel when they walk into a room. Do you want to shield your face so nobody looks at you and are you constantly nervous someone is looking at you and thinking the worst or that you’ll mess up your words when you talk so you reverse them in your head over and over and also how does it feel to eat in from of other people? Does everyone have these feelings to an extent?

Everyday situations I'm not worried about, I figure I'm no worse or better than anyone else and most people are too wrapped up with what's going on in their own lives to give a monkeys about what I'm doing,. That said, there have been some situations which have unnerved me, upper class "one-upmanship" that's uncomfortable, they were work colleagues of my husband who seemed to behave like they had the entire contents of a cleaning cupboard inserted up their arses. I'd much rather opt out of those situations.
