Is it normal to feel this way...

When I walk in public, I feel like everyone is looking at me. I feel like they can see that something is wrong or different about me. I feel emotionless when I walk in public, and i look emotionless too. Always have a very uncomfortable cold feeling inside. If someone says something to me or I am in some way interrupted I will get a bit scared and feel very uncomfortable too. After that I will feel stupid about getting scared.

    When I lived in Las Vegas I signed up for a social anxiety Meetup group online, but never actually went to a single meetup with them, because I was too anxious.

    You've just described my entire adolescence...

    It sounds like you have social anxiety and are perhaps stuck in fight-or-flight mode. It doesn't have to be a bad thing.

    The trick is to turn your minds focus outwards rather than inwards.

    Study the people around you. Analyse their tiny details, and when spoken to engage with the person. Ask questions which turn the focus away from yourself and get them talking about themselves.

    Best of luck.
