Any factors like twitching or your voice or appearance, etc affect your SA

Does twitching or your voice or appearance, or other factors affect your SA. One thing that really affects my SA is I have a really hard time elaborating or explaining things. I`m usually just a one liner at a time guy and when I explain things or elaborate on things or story tell everything gets all jumbled up.

It`s hard to story tell at one sitting. That`s why one liners always work for me.

oh man my words do that too. I can never explain anything without looking like I'm scared/nervous...just the other day was the first day in Comparitive Religion class and the teacher went around making us talk about ourselves. I sounded so monotone, I get tense in social situations and hyper-aware. I don't know what I was looking at, my mouth got dry...after I was done, this girl in front turned and asked me if I was from a town called "Howell" which is 30 minutes from me and I said "no" with a weird kind of blank stare and she turned back around. Either she thought I look like someone she knows, or that was a weird kind of 'flirting behavior' on her part. I feel like I gulp whenever any girl asks me stuff or talks to me in general. Like I'm being tested, I'm scared for some reason, and I fail every time lol

I stumble over my words, I lose my train of thought and try end what I'm saying as soon as possible, my eyes start to water from nervousness so I need to look away.

I'm always worried about what my facial expression looks like. I'm often told by friends, family, even strangers that I look upset or "sick" and I know it's because of my discomfort around other people whether it be at school, the mall, even the street right outside my house. I try to keep my face looking normal but no matter how hard I try I can feel my facial muscles tensing up and whenever I accidentally come in eye contact with a stranger or just feel anxious in general I unintentionally start to glare and people find me to be unapproachable because of it.

I have exactly the same problem. This is at the moment the thing i'm most anxious about. My inability to control my face. I have the feeling i look scary to people because of it or very uninterested and bored.

@sevenroses

Yeah same here. I need to blurt out a short sentence quickly, otherwise I trip over my words. I forget words and peoples names routinely and that complicates things even further. Quite embarrassing when I forget peoples names.
