when people talk to me whom I don't normally talk to, it freaks me out. I get all nervous and start thinking about what it is they want and why they are talking to me. Then I get a little self conscious about if I have something on my face or if I have my shirt button up right even if I already know it is. Usually I cannot even focus on the conversation because on the inside I'm Like panicking. Even hours sometimes days after the conversation with the person I still feel a little weird and nervous about the person talking to me.

    Everyone has a little bit of social anxiety, but you said it your self, you may be just a tad bit self conscious, and that's okay. I would try to recognize every time that you feel this way and try to remember why in particular your feeling this way. You can find a lot about yourself if you take the time to really understand why it is that you feel what you feel, and see things as you do.

    No, this sounds like pretty serious anxiety. Talk to a doctor.

    You are too self conscious, we all have been there, hopefully you will grow out of this, they are just people. Work on your self confidence and be positive.

    Don't worry! I have the same problem! I don't like other people talking to me because I always jump to conclusions and end up saying something I don't mean to say or give an instant reaction without even thinking about it. Because of this problem I end up creating unwanted attention, so I hope that this cheers you up a bit. I looked it up online about this because I just started to notice that I get extremely uncomfortable when I start to talk in huge groups of people; found out that it is called, glossophobia.

    I feel similar when someone I don't usually talk to or someone I don't know talks to me but I get really irritated. I think, even if they're just being friendly, they want something out of me, I usually just walk away if it's nothing important. I do think it's a little weird that affects you so for days after you were spoken to randomly. Try shrug it of next time and maybe you'll get use to it.
