I shouldn't post. I really should stop telling the internet everything about my life, but this came out of nowhere.

I has a little anxiety episode yesterday in a store. No idea why - all I know is I dreaded the clerk talking to me, could feel him watching me (not creepily, just trying to do his customer service job; I didn't dare even look in his direction), and when he asked what I was looking for, maybe he could help - I freaked out. I stammered out an honest line about needing a particular kind of cable, that I was just in price-checking and thought I could get it somewhere else cheaper, then said thank you and half-ran out. I was flushed and sweating the whole time and my heart was racing.

I don't have social anxiety. I tend to be uncomfortable when people talk to me, but nothing like this. Not sure what brought it on.
