do you have social anxiety? Stressed in public places?

I currently have and trying to see how i can handle this better as its not healthy to get stressed all the time

 

No, I'm not stressed and don't have anxiety. I just feel like people are living their lives wrong and I'm in no way capable of correcting their infinite mistakes.

PS:
In a way, the job of an artist is not only to entertain others, but also to make them realize their mistakes. I've been dealing with people and humans until now, but unfortunately, AI has been added to it.

6 Steps to Conquer Social Anxiety in Public Spaces

Why You Feel Anxious Socializing (and What to Do about It) | Fallon Goodman | TED

 

I don't have social anxiety, I have communication trauma.
I'm autistic and every conversation is a fucking minefield to me, and most people provide *no* understanding, instead assuming things, expecting things and not telling me anything about any of this.
If I weren't being afraid of being linched by a mob I'd speak publically freely cause I don't feel any shame or social pressure until it gets violent.

 

I'm fine standing in front of a big crowd and displaying my craft but the small talk involved to get through the day is scary

 

sometimes, we don't makes mistakes, it's the behaviour of some people that creates mental and social difficulties.

 

I'm not a big fan of it but I wouldn't say I have a phobia about it. I like to avoid humans whenever possible though.

 

Music is for listening. It's high time we painted and put up signs like this: "Please listen and enjoy" or, more directly, "Just shut up!" I'm fed up with smartphone users, with their heads constantly bowed; they don't look at you anymore. Greetings or saying hello—no, that was a thing of the past. Some of my fellow human beings talk incessantly and no longer listen...! For me, society has deteriorated significantly since the introduction of the smartphone - and social media is neither social nor antisocial.

 

Unfortunately, artists have been caught in a dilemma. I mean, you either have to act like people or you have to be the truth. People, in my opinion, are always making mistakes and should not be left alone for a moment. It's a really difficult situation. There are so many things wrong in society, but no one is able to fix them. These same mistakes and people who constantly make mistakes create a bad mental state, and the situation becomes especially acute when those who make mistakes are unwilling to accept their mistakes and want to live the way they want to. It's very difficult to live in constant error.

 

A noisy, drunk or otherwise uninhibited mob just gets on my nerves.
People no longer show consideration or restraint. They show themselves to be just as shitty as they really are.
I therefore avoid larger crowds.
Does that count as anxiety?

 

It doesn't affect me as I never go out.

 

I think I get what you're saying, but are we correct? I know I am not.
As an example, I would very much rather eat one meal once a week. I feel like this is the appropriate time and effort to spend on food. And yet it doesn't seem to be feasible, doesn't correspond not with social constructs, but with the very reality of having a human body. And yet I feel that it should be like this.
Who knows how many other aspects we're faulty at.

 

Only when i'm not drunk

Sorry i couldn't resist this one, because i find some social interations really boring sometimes. But in general i don't feel anxiety on public situations, only when i have to deal with people that can make me feel unconfortable, but i think anyone would be annoyed as well.
