i dont think ive ever had a conversation where i havent been scared about what the other person is going to say.. i mean im sure i have but not enough to stop being scared, like say i meet a new person.. i get really scared about what they are gonna talk about, and my biggest fear is for them to say im weird...sometimes when im walking around somewhere busy i start imagining that everyone is saying "hey look at that weird guy", "that guy is weird", or "that guy does weird stuff".. i mena im funny, and fun to be around... but i can never open up because im so afraid of others cause society can be so cruel, and all these problems have built up over the years, i guess its true that society makes u who u are...

Answers:
There are medications for anxiety and panic attacks.

Also you can try (in my opinion useless) meditation, yoga, brain puzzles if you have an attack, all of this stuff to relax your mind. Talk to a few of your closer friends more often, work your way out of being afraid they will say something bad, and develop on it to other people.

I have a similar problem. Just try and relax, take a deep breath.

If you ever feel like you will get a spasm in public, just ball your hands into fists extremely hard.

Good luck, and maybe see a psychiatrist specializing in anxiety.
