My heart pounds during confrontation and in crowds

90% Normal
3 Comments

I really wonder if there are people who are opposite to me and can be calm in social situations because my heart pounds a lot( I feel like it does) when I confront someone, am doing something important, in a crowd or just when I anticipate something. I don't want you to think I'm afraid because I deal with stressful situations with ease that people say that I'm very confident and its like when I feel this pounding in my chest for a few seconds its a signal for me to get active in whatever situation I'm in. So I think I deal with this well. I just want to know if others experience the same but aren't necessarily afraid when they do.

    I get that way too, but I get anxious easily and have no confidence.

    You are describing a circumstance that is within the paradigm of "stage fright". 90% of people have slight to severe symptoms.

    It's more than likely just your endocrine system releasing the same hormones that give you the "Fight or flight" response.
