    I'm the same way also I will go into interviews totally confident and they ask questions I can't ever say anything other than my name. I get a fast heartbeat,I studder, i get way hot in the face. It really sucks, one thing that helps me is remember to breathe :)

    I'm pretty much an introvert (although this doesn't necessarily mean you hate social events) but I dislike them; I don't like the crowds and I don't like the noise. I'd prefer a quiet place where I can talk to people; parties don't interest me.

    Normal.
    I don't fear them or anything, but I have a hard time relating to other people. I have noticed, lately, that if I dumb down what I say and gossip more, people are a lot more willing to be social with me. But that's just not me.

    I hate them too. I can't have anything to do with socialising in public. My nerves shoot through the roof! It's so stressful! My heart beats very fast and I can hear it in my ears. Sometimes, I become mute and can't talk to anyone for days. The last community college class I took, I couldn't talk except mutter occasionally. I don't go to big social events, thankfully. I don't think I'd be able handle it.
