Does feeling Negative & Conscious of ppl qualify as OCD

have any OCD sufferers in particular make it a point to ruminate when it comes to being in a social atmosphere lets say in the front pews at church or somwhere during the day in particular where there are lots of ppl and even those known to you...& you start to think ppl are watching you & it FLARES UP or SPIKES your OCD.. ???

IS THIS SOCIAL ANXIETY WHERE U THINK PPL ARE WATCHING U AND U BELIEVE THEY ARE LOOKING TO SEE IF YOU WILL ACT ON YOUR OCD AND THEN CATCH U IN THE ACT ?? not aware of your of your problem and believe something else that is very negative???

DO u check to see if ppl are watching u esp when you your compulsions are active and you begin to wonder who else is watching you or the person/s in your presence has seen your OCD compulsions and u start to think how can u cover up and act differently or position yourself in another way not to give that impression .. ARE ALL THESE 3 QUESTIONS RELATED TO OCD or SOCIAL ANXIETY or BOTH..???
AND WHY DO ANXIETY SUFFERERS GO TO SUCH GREAT LENGTH TO PRETEND TO HIDE THEIR PROBLEMS FROM OTHERS IS THAT NORMAL.. OR WE ARE IN DENIAL..? ..

Social anxiaty/phobia basicly is when in social situation you always feel as if other people are judging you. Your mind is always thinking what could the others be thinking now.

so what you stated is a aspect of social phobia, but I'm no specialist. maybe you should try see a professional psychologist and make clear what you have.

The caps are very distracting. Social anxiety disorder is when one fears making mistakes, and being humiliated. Many people have reported nervousness when they are being watched or becoming the center of attention. It's a thought distortion of untrue assumptions sometimes, so yes it can be considered as social anxiety. It can lead to more obsessive thoughts. OCD is intrusiveness, things that you would think to be irrational but you can not stop obsessing over them. It seems like both
