Can totally relate 100%, *not* just u, believe it!. Very much over the yrs and most of my life (lately not excluded), I've had MAJOR issues with this kinda thing, along w/ other heavy duty "helium balloon sized head feelings" when I'm out!. This most DEF!. comes from my childhood/1st 15 yrs of my life, so the reception I get now seems so sureal and not 2 be believed that what actually happened *did* happen!. I was very shy, gawky, socially insecure and dealt with demonic individuals in herds day after day with no mercy (all mainly verbal abuse/mental intimidation!. I frequently have nightmare/dreams so much of the all this, tho its mainly on how much I wanted to be accepted/ loved, opposed to the juvanile insults themselves, and just to NOT be ripped to shreads daily, which I haven't been in several yrs (more than 1/2 my life now)!. Now, at 34 Im almost equally tramatized by the REVERSE scenerio!. Day after day people are generally complimentary, praising my physical appearance indirectly and directly, dont give me sh*t/intimidate me over the way I talk and carry myself!. Yet, there's this toxic inner battle with "just that"!. It all seems SO superficial and just wrong, that 'cause I'm easier on the eyes & most likely carry myself perhaps better than 20 yrs ago I deserve 2be treated in a civil way lol, unlike back then!. It's a daily inner battle, as back then I detested how mean people were to m day after day after day!. They slimed their way into my soul, spirit and zest for living in this world, and now its just like it never happened!. Fact is people ARE judgemental/ superficial, and most (including myself) instantly tend 2 judge one on their initial look!. If someone is "seedy/shady, or even very attactive and confident looking, I'm instantly intimidated, aloof, or what not due to fear, envy etc!.!.*But again, this all stems from my lifes experiences and conditioning from a VERY ugly side of humanity! **YOU MUST** push yourself to GET OUT: go 2 the gym, mall, supermarket, SOMEthing=moral of the story/BOTTOM LINE!. No, it's not the Magic Kingdomin this world every day, Its very hard for me too, but u gotta have some kinda of structure, movement etc!.! Dont end up looking back at wasted days, weeks, mths and yrs and say you did NOTHING with your time! Then they (the demons who make u feel this way WIN)Www@Answer-Health@Com
I used to have a friend like that!. It's called anxiety & it can become severe!. I would talk to a doctor & see if you can't get some help for it!. What worked for him really well is that whenever he did go out he always went with someone who he could trust, someone that would help him though it!. I really hope you fin something that works for you, living with anxiety can be really hard!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

you are an agoraphobic!. it just means you're scared to go outside!. if you're a kaiser patient, you can go to classes about it!. the internet also has a lot of information about it!. nothing is wrong with you, i used to be the same way!. i used to think people were going to kill me and that i wasn't going to be safe outside!. then one day, i just went outside, because i knew i had to face my fears and do it!. plus my parents told me there was nothing to be scared of and my parents are almost never wrong about things like that!. i hope i helped you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
You may have a bit of social anxiety disorder not to freak you out by using that term but its the fear of going out in public in fear of being judged!. I am not a psychologist however my father is and it sounds like you might be paranoid!.

Don't be shy or hold back details they are there to help you!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com
