I get very nervous in places with several people, especially if it is in a closed environment, does anyone else feels like this?

I fucking hate people....
This social distancing you can take it and add a couple miles to it please
For me, Small spaces + lots of people, = one panic attack coming up

oh, god , NO! I have it so badly that I can barely leave my house. The thought of getting groceries sends me into severe panic and it takes days before I can work up the courage to go. I am very isolated.

For good or bad unless you're an attractive woman you can rest assured that nobody is paying any attention to you.
Social anxiety/phobia is a big reason for me wanting to CTB, I forget how to speak when I'm around people I get a complete brain blank and my words get jumbled, I have to be drunk to cope in social situations and it's horrible. I wish I could constantly be drunk! I left my last job due to social phobia and it's a miracle I was able to land another job. I just want to stay in my room and not interact with others.

I feel the same. I can hardly go out in public anywhere without freaking out.
Kind of varies, I feel very avoidant about leaving the house at the moment but sometimes I feel fine.

I can't be around people. Doesn't even have to be a small space, if I see someone 10 meters away on the street going in my direction I'm filled with dread. If I wasn't a woman, I would go out at like 3-4 am but I'm too afraid, and there are people roaming outside EVEN THEN. I would sell my soul and amputate my left arm for the chance to live somewhere without any people at all, where I can run, scream, do whatever I want, and no one will see me or hear me EVER.

My socially anxiety basically means I can't leave the house without having someone with me at all times, small crowds are fine if I'm not alone , still freak out in larger crowds regardless of who's with me . I always hoped it was something I'd grow out, I'm 25 now and it hasn't happened yet .

Sorry to hear this! Interviews are so hard but I promise you'll get there, I felt helpless too and thought I would never get one. Luckily, the company were really chilled back and one of the girls interviewing me also had anxiety so she was really sympathetic, I found what helped was saying "sorry I'm so nervous, I'm just really excited about the job/I just really want this" and they are usually sympathetic and if not you don't want to work for those people anyway. Good luck!
PM me if you want to talk about anything or practise interviews etc, anxiety is horrible and I hope we can overcome it.

I would literally give my life for this, I am a man and lately I have been out a lot at night, the emptiness and silence are comforting, the feeling of being able to walk freely without thinking that everyone is looking at you all the time is inexplicable

I hate even leaving the house. When I have to leave I just do what I have to do and get out. The less contact, the better.
Me me, please pm me. I have social anxiety and agoraphobia, all BEFORE I have to go out or a social interaction. DURING the time I'm out or I'm interacting with other people, I'm completely perfectly fine, don't get panic attacks, and I look and sound normal. But I always invariably use a Xanax or Valium.

My social anxiety has ruined any prospect of living a normal life or of being independent. I'm seriously so pathetic. I can barely look another person in the eyes much less find a stable job, make friends, be in a relationship, etc.

You're definitely not alone in feeling like that. I do not do well being out in public with people I know or don't know. Let me stay home and away from everyone.

All the time I feel this way....I dislike crowds.... Just my luck to0 be born in a time with the most ever recorded high population of almost 8 billion....Well, it's tolerable now, the conditions, for many....however, I am a pretty concerned what will happen in the future with the environmental situation. I hope I will not be around when or if the rug is ripped out from under humanity.

Yes like going to the mall or through the city I will constantly scan my sorroundings and it feels uncomfortable with so many people around me.

I don't even have to be in a crowd, there could be literally no one around and I will still be anxious because the possibility is there.
Just curious, for those who are fully agoraphobic, how do you support yourself financially? I do a bit of work online, a bit of help from my mom, a bit from my SO. But if I didn't have them, I wouldn't hack it alone.

I wouldn't say I'm fully agoraphobia but as i said I can't leave the house alone so it makes it near impossible to work . I'm on welfare and live with my parents still. Without them I'd find it extremely difficult to survive ,not just financially either . Working online seems like a good idea though .
I have severe social phobia due to Aspergers. I have no social skills at all I never speak to anyone day to day. Years ago, I was too afraid to get out of the car to even go into a store but I have improved since then. I can go in but if someone started talking to me I would run away.
