Worst situation for s phobic to be in?

[recluse]

What's the worst situation you feel you'r social anxiety would affect you in?

A year ago I went fishing on a small boat for the first timne with one of my workmates. We went for a 24 hour fishing trip and slept on the boat. I hated it so much because I can't stand being in peoples company for a short time leave alone for 24 hours on a small boat. My worst nightmare situations would be; Being stuck in a lift with other people, being stuck in a cabin with people with no escape, being on an oil rig where I can't escape and be on my own. Even being in a car with someone on a long journey drives me insane and fills me with anxiety.

Depersonalization.

Public Speaking, or making a speech and then facing the whole class. No matter how hard I try, I just can't blink infront of the class or look at all the faces without twitching.


I try practicing alone in my room, but no matter how hard I try, I can never act natural infront of an audience.

i agree with you isolated, I cant even go up there and give a public presentation. Last year I had to take a speech class I took zeros on speeches because i could not do it.

Speaking in front of a group for me would be an absolute No No !!

Just talking infront of one person makes me feel shakey and anxious! which in itself is bad enough.

It's gotta be...

Going to someone's house and he/she invites new people over that I've never met. I'm silent and people think I'm sad or angry or something. I can never be in a 3+ person conversation. I'm just silent.

definately public speaking...i always go , stutter and generally make an idiot of myself.

I don't mind doing anything in front of my friends. It's strangers that I don't like being around.

The worst situation would probably be standing or sitting there alone while a huge group of kids (boys and girls), my age pass me by, looking at me weird while I feel really uncomfortable. I would go incredibly far to avoid that.

The feeling I get inside when I argue with myself whether I should stay silent or say "hi" kills me. It's that in between feeling that makes me feel like I'm going crazy.[/i]

talking to a group when the group is plainly giving you funny looks. I think, SA ppl tend to be very sensitive. A negative reaction from many people at once while you are on stage performing should be pretty devastating.
