the thing with gyms is that 'alone in a crowd' feeling. does your anxiety mean you don't like being around people? or that you don't like interacting with them?

I dont mind the gym or going to the grocery store or interacting with the teller at the bank. I get anxious interacting with people (mainly in groups). I work as a customer service rep and I love my job and my customers, odd for some one with social anxiety, but when I have to interact in a group, I think I get anxious because there are too many people for me to have to "anaylyze" or pay attention to...I start worrrying about what everyone is thinking about me, what I look like, I hate having all eyes and attention on me etc and get all these what ifs running through my head(what if i say something stupid, what if i am not interesting to them, what if I dont have anything to say etc). I am so focused on those thoughts and trying to "figure" everyone out, that i can't focus and just be in the moment, ya know?
