Yeah, social anxiety is based on the unhelpful feeling that others are judging you for your looks, what you say, whatever. The more people there are, the more judged you will feel, the greater the anxiety and the physical/mental effects.

Does anybody else check their money a hundred thousand times when paying for things? I'll check it one, twice and see that it's all there, but have to keep checking it over and over, and over @_@. I know that's very random and stupid, but just had to mention it, lol.

I do this sometimes, occasionally I cant work out the correct amount

Always do this!! Especially when waiting for the bus. I'm just counting and recounting and recounting

Missjess, I do that two. It's like I am so distracted by how uncomfortable I am, that I don't remember anything that anybody says.

 

[missjesss]

Yeah, I find myself saying “I’m sorry?” and “What’s that?” a lot when I get besieged with chatty people. Hell, usually one’s enough to throw me for a loop, let alone 2 or 3.

I have to face away from the other people, because I am worried about looking at their legs.

Yep I feel like that at the checkouts...when approaching the check out i search around trying to find the least "intimidating", "mean", "talkative" checkout person...::

Yea, Always. Then i get the feeling that people are watching me do it.

Like EscapeArtist said, with the bus. I used to do this, until i got myself a bus pass. Funnily enough, i still do it with my bus pass, opening it and checking the expiry date and also the picture..I worry that the bus driver will think I'm not the guy on the photo. Strange as it may sound.

I wish everybody would do this, if paying to get on the bus. It would save a lot of time. I really can't stand people who get on the bus, tell the driver there destination, then rake through there handbag or pockets for change. It always seems to happen more frequently when your in a hurry to get somewhere.

As annoying as this is, I kinda envy these people...you know, just how relaxed they can be about things. they clearly don't care about what people think about them...and I wanna be more like this...
