Hello I'm having som sosial anxiety what others may call it

In some or often in situations we can't see what others really think of us or look at us in there eyes.. I am experiencing alot of negative or odd energi when in a group of people. I do have anxiety and I have heard that people who have it can over read or underead others and I'm wondering if one of them. I'm going to a terephist to find out what is happening. I am just trying block those hateful thoughts that make me scared or try to come down it's getting better but it's only cause I'm aware of my thoughts. And telling myself it's not true is making me tired it happeneds very often. Ty for reading this hope your not sad I'm getting better I just need advice.

You make a really good point. In my experience the chaos can really only take over in the moments where we aren't mindful. The important thing to keep in mind is that the opinion of a stranger is of no importance. Let them think what they will and don't let it be of any concern. I am glad you're making progress with consistent effort you can do almost anything!

These may be unrelated to what your going through, Ana, but I also have difficulty in groups and thought I'd share a couple different experiences. I'm quite sensitive and empathetic, so I tend to feel and mirror what others feel. When I spend time with someone one-on-one, I can "sync" with that person and feel very comfortable. When I'm in a group, it's as though I'm feeling multiple things at once from each of the people. It feels like dissonance and makes me uncomfortable. Just being aware of this helps me manage the experience at least a little better. Another reason I can feel uncomfortable in groups is from an old social pattern from my younger years. I had a few friends in school and got along just fine with them one-on-one. When we formed a group, the friends could become hostile toward me. They would tease and put me down, I think because it made them feel better about themselves and closer to each other. Something about being in the group motivated them to behave differently than they would by themselves. This gave me reason to feel safer with individuals than in groups and can lead to group anxiety that I continue to experience and am working through. I wish you well learning about your own group interactions and finding greater peace in the experience!
