I was wondering if someone could help me with my physical reactions. Today I was speaking to a few people who were strangers to me, and I had very bad physical reactions. My body was shaking uncontrollable, I bit my lip till it bled trying to stop the shaking. I had no reason to feel anxious, they were all nice people, and before I spoke I was quite comfortable. But as soon as all the attention was on me, this physical reaction came out of nowhere. It makes me feel very embarrassed and damages my confidence, especially when inside I see no reason to feel anxious. Its like my body was taking over and I lost control of it.
I'm 18, and pretty much a loner. I used to have lots of friends but when they all went off to different college's, I never found a new group to hang with. My anxiousness doesn't make it any easier. Who wants to be friends with the guy thats always shaking?
Would somebody offer me some advice please?
