Is this odd?

New to this. Have been suffering with anxiety for years now. I'm usually able to calm myself down. It's social anxiety, so I'm more worried about what they are thinking about me (ie he's weird) still I will not let it beat me an purposely put myself in situations of anxiety so I can work out how to deal with it. Anyone else do this? Or is it just me. I'm fine one on one if people don't look straight at me, feels like I'm under pressure and they will see me panic.

It's frustrating as he'll because this is not my personality, I've got plenty to say. Just wish there was not a stigma attached to this. Fact is in my world this would be considered week my mates are not feelings kind of fellas. I'm a 6ft 20st covered in tattoos and bling guy who people think is fine. And has to spend all my time pretending I am.

Goldie11 sometimes my anxiety does limit what I can do .like today I was going to London to see my son and grandchildren.but woke up at 3 am sweating and needing the toilet urgently.IBS flared up and I was unable to go on hour train journey and 45 mins underground as no toilets on tube.my son was very good and said not to worry. But now still feeling anxious and sad .
