How bad is your anxiety generally?

[lumipallo]

Mine's pretty bad. At home I constantly feel stressed about something, in Zoom classes I get hotflashes when it's my turn on the mic, at work I'm scared someone is going to come up and yell at me for doing a bad job.
It manifests physically every time there's a social situation, the hotflashes, palpitations, heavy breathing.
I've been going to therapy for 6 years now and I still feel scared that strangers will just laugh at me.

It is not "anxiety". It is just knowing how things really are and how people really see you

I still think I should be able to handle it in a relaxed manner without all those bodily sensations. It would be a dream come true if I could simply not care if I am bad at my job or if people don't like me.

I feel like i need to throw up, i have to look away from people and turn around. I avoid eye contact. It's hard to talk to new people

I am quite introverted but surprisingly not that anxious in social situations. I mean how special can some random normies be for you to feel anxious around them.
