I'm not sure if this is just me or what, but whenever I walk by people on the street, whether or not I know them, my body starts to feel awkward, and I become super conscious of my every move. Like, it feels like walking doesn't come naturally and I literally have to put effort into it. Is this normal?
If my friends around i start acting like an idiot. (just like a funny person idk) I dont care what ppl think of me.
This is not 'standard' human behavior, but happens a lot. It's Social Anxiety, either consciously or subconsciously, you are becoming aware that they may be thinking of you, and you are unsure of what that might be, so you either try to look very strong, try to move quickly out of sight, or look 'average' to avoid abuse.
Look up social anxiety disorder.
<marked normal though, as many have this problem.
i thought i was the only one. wowwwww relief! :) how can we change this though?
oh tht happens to me its cuz theres alot of ppl and it will put pressure on u and if u do something embsressin well yea they all will see it but i think its normal cuz tht happens to me all the time
social anxiety has been the curse of so many great artists and thinkers; in fact, some people are so painfully self-conscious that they have trouble relating to others, but can relate to themselves MUCH more than others can.
i agree with explosivefurry. i have pretty severe social anxiety disorder, so i always have those kind of obsessive thoughts in public. sometimes even around my own family.
