I know this isn't a thing but I was wondering people's opinion on this. I have social anxiey, that is a definite. I don't know if I'd call myself claustrophobic because I don't really put myself in small spaces.
When I am around a lot of people I start to become very uncomfortable. I'm anxious at the idea of having to relate or talk to other people but that's not a factor here. Just the thought of people around me makes me anxious.
Everything get's really loud for me. I start to squirm. If someone bumps into me I feel physical pain inside me. I become hyper vigilant.
I just don't like to be around people, like at all. My father says he's the same way. We're misanthropes he says. Does anyone else feel this way around people?
I'm not sure if it's my social anxiety or some form of claustrophobia?
