horribly afraid of people?

[LoveToRock]

okay so i have this problem. i hate to be noticed. if there's a chance i might be noticed (like being late for something, then having to walk into a room full of people) i am terrified. i missed the bus a couple times because of it and had to wait after school for three hours for my mom. it was after i had been IP and i was terrified they might ask about it, because it was my second time. does anybody else have this happen to them? and how do you overcome it?

I get that sometimes. It's a little bit different-- I feel like everyone will scream at me and hurt me for being late or out of order or whatever. I just try and honestly think of the worst possible case scenario and then think of how I would deal with it, and then tell myself if I can deal with that I can deal with everything else. It helps a lot.

yes I know that feeling and I hate it, too. What I hate the most is that I just don't want to blend into the crowd and be the same like everyone else and nothing special... But on the other hand I don't want to be noticed and I'm happy to be just invisible...

I feel like everybody is watching me and I am watching everyone else... I feel very stressed in public traffic and sometimes even paranoid. I try to avoid children as much as possible because they seem to look for contact to strangers... And they scream and cry a lot what terrifies me....
