Terrible title description, I know.
Alright, it's like this. Whenever I'm out with friends, just casually hanging out, watching Anime or whatever the case may be, I always feel paralyzed from within myself... (my inner self feels paralyzed.) I get really afraid and awkward to even make a sound. I can't clear my throat, cough, laugh at anything, say anything (note: if I do say something my voice comes out really weak and quiet.) I'm not always like this... it just happens to me whenever I'm out with friends or sometimes in a classroom setting.
Another thing that puzzles me about this is how no one else seems to notice how silent I am. Even if there's only two other people in the room with me. They just talk back and forth the whole night while I am left in my paralyzed-like state , and no one directs a question at me like, "Are you ok?" "Why are you so quiet?" etc.
My question is, why does this happen, and what could be causing this intense social awkwardness. Why can't I say anything or do anything without feeling like every eye is watching every move I make? Also, why is it that I can't speak a word, think of anything to say, or at least feel comfortable enough to make the slightest movement while in these environments?
