My shoulders shrivel up as if I am anxious when I am standing with arms at my side

Hi,
Sometimes, in fact a lot of times, when I am out in the public, and I am standing with my hands to my sides, I feel like my shoulders get hunched and shrink upwards, as they would if one is very anxious. But they happen to me even if I don't feel anxious as far as I can tell. But once it happens, I start feeling very conscious and anxious.

So I put my hands in my pockets or cross my arms to avoid them from hanging on my sides. But in the summer it gets very hot and humid in my country so I have to keep my hands dangling out in the open only!

Any one else find their shoulders shrinking and becoming tight when they have their hands dangling like me?

We all do things subconsciously when we are nervous (whether we realize we are nervous or not) I play with my hair.
