physical trouble around people.....

[Bo592]

I have trouble swallowing food when I am around people. trouble focusing on things because. I just want to hurry up and get back home where I am away from people again. I have lots of trouble looking out for cars and where people are when I am walking. Does anybody else notice physical trouble when around people ?

That is tough, especially the food part. Unbelievable how anxiety can manifest itself physically. I also deal with this, but it gets my vision - the person I am talking to will start to blur and blend into the background.

Social phobia makes me feel very constricted as well. Looking-up in public feels like there's a fifty pound weight around my neck; I get so stiff at traffic lights that I feel like I'm going to have a CRAMP.

I never had that problem with my eye sight before. But I do have problems dealing with my hearing and feeling like time is moving really fast when talking to people or just being around people too.

I have problems with looking up too. I keep trying to remind myself to look up when I am around people. I don`t know where all these physical problems come from being shy or by having SA. I wish I knew maybe there away of fixing this problem.

I have this issue too. Everything blurs and it seems everything gets brighter too.


I just went for a walk today (-1C seemed warm for once) and I have a hard time looking up, especially when I'm walking past someone too. It feels like my head gets heavier like FountainandFairfax said.

I actually have a fear of choking in front of people (happened to me as a child) so I refuse to eat around people I'm not 100% comfortable with, so I'm not sure about that part.

When I'm around strangers my body goes stiff. and I start walking like Frankenstein. sometimes I tremble a little or twitch. :sad:

In the past I couldn't walk from one room to another. I'm more comfortable with that now.

I can definitely relate to all of these things! I’m actually laughing thinking of what would happen if we all hung out together. We’d be staring blankly, walking all stiff, groaning from dry mouth. People would run form us thinking we are zombies
