I find malls or big streets to be the worst for me, and I don't think it is the places themselves but more so the amount of people around me. If a mall or street is bunched with people, I really start to struggle, gasping for air. I sometimes need to find the bathroom so I can lock myself in there for five minutes just so I can get myself together again. I am not as bad as before but it depends on my mood and confidence, it I'm having a bad day and feel low in myself, I really do feel like everyone is looking at me or laughing at me when in all honesty, they are not even noticing me one bit. I don't know if you can stop yourself feeling this way, I feel much more comfortable indoors and when I get home I relax straight away, like a massive weight has come off my shoulders. Hopefully this will all ease.
