Can you reveal your specific fears of society

I don't really understand my fear. My anxiety manifests into shaking mostly. Quivering voice and whatnot. I think it's simply being made fun of. Being judged. I want so badly to believe I do not care.

A simpleton with extremely basic intelligence unable to understand or effectively communicate with a mature adult

Employed to ensure that a corporation seeking new staff will not get to meet any valued, talented person, on their own mindless, plankton-level judgement

A cleaner. The work police

It should be the other way round.

Find the good. The different.

They dispose any attempts from anyone who is not exactly like them

Pretty much of body symetry and that someone sees that and that leads to other stuff like shame,fear of the attention centered on me and etc.
 
Mainly it's coming accross those rude, extroverted, over-confident, egotistical, loud, shoot-from-the-hip types. I fear my own anger & triggers (due to feeling like a helpless victim of humiliation/ridicule?), and my usual inability to deal with it adequately at the time, so i then get this huge head of steam in me, with no outlet for it .. so i suffer badly. I guess it's really a fear of intense pain. I'd rather be in severe depression than suffer at the hands of others, as it's less painful for me.

Dealing with other people when I really do not want to and pretending to be happy, when in reality I am a mess emotionally and physically and close to giving up completely. Call it a mask if you will. gaaahhhh.... Also alot of what has been said above the similarities are scary and the majority of you are in a different country!

I always think that whatever I do is stupid and that other people will judge me because of that. I blush really easily, and sometimes I'm so scared of turning red that this causes me to turn red. Plus, I have a really hard time trusting people and really saying what's on my mind. Whenever I try it feels like even really good friends of mine don't really care, as if they listen to be polite not because they really care.

I offend people without meaning to. This can really be scary, because the anger from others comes with no warning and it is extreme. I make people so angry, they scream and curse. I never know when I will have this effect, and so I am really fearful of it. At 48, I am much more isolated than I have ever been in my life. I know it is n't normal.

I also feel like no matter what I say or do it's never right and get extreme over-reactions from people. I've been told I come across as being a smart ass or arrogant but I really don't mean to.

I'm scared of rejection, being laughed at or thought of as stupid and confrontation. Confrontation particularly scares me, I only have to read the most mild of confrontational criticisms of myself and my heart pounds, my stomach knots, my face goes red hot and I feel like I'm about to cry...

Doing something stupid in public, e.g. falling over. Saying something wrong, people looking at me. Eating in front of people.

Its just not ok to be yourself in society. Anything that is not considered "normal" is not ok. I suspect there are alot of people who are not being themselves, they are just hiding it very well.
