I have social anxiety. I can not stand being around a group of people. I'm totally fine with one person. Two is pushing it. But more then that and I want to leave even if they were all my friends. Except for when I visited my dad and his parents. Did it since ever since I was born until they all died.

I had to fake being comfortable when other family got together and especially at work. I would get the cold sweaty shakes and panic inside. When I spoke I had to remember to sound comfortable. I wore a jacket to hide my nervous sweating. Meetings in a closed room were pure torture for me. I'm so glad I don't have to deal with that any more.

Definitely social anxiety, and some general anxiety. I panic when I don’t understand a situation or don’t have time/opportunity to get used to a new situation, which generally results in me removing myself from the situation. Not always all at once, sometimes it’s a build up of anxiety that over time triggers my flight impulse. Examples of things that I know cause me anxiety, social situations, flying, new places, public speaking, being in charge of things…
