I'm terrible with big parties.
I'm very comfortable speaking to millions of people, but not comfortable in a small, intimate social setting. Like cocktail hour. I get very panicky.
I have a huge fear of crowds. The irony is that my band is a therapeutic exercise. I hurl myself into thousands of people.
Ninety percent of people's nightmares is standing in front of 1,000 people. Did you know that? And having to speak. You would have thought it would have been a madman tying you up and taking your eyes out.
I'm not the kind of person who enjoys big crowds very much.
I love clothes - I love shopping for clothes, I love wearing clothes, I love talking about clothes - but oddly, putting on the dress and walking around in front of people, that's the place where I'm most uncomfortable.
I'm not shy. I'm quiet. With my close friends. I talk a lot. But if I'm at a big dinner, I'm not gonna walk in and go introduce myself to everybody.
I'm terrified of walking into a room full of people. Sitting down at a dinner table with 15 strangers brings me out in a sweat.
I'm sure I'm one of those undiagnosed people with social anxiety.
I'm paranoid of people hating on me.
I don't like to go out a lot. It's trouble.
Sometimes I have a little social anxiety, and meeting people can be a challenge for me.
I didn't overcome my shyness. I am still shy.
I have social anxiety. It's easier up on stage because there's security in being there. When I'm off stage I'm trying not to be a manic freak. I'm quite shy.
Believe it or not, I was a pretty shy youngster growing up.
The main thing I don't like about myself is an absurd level of self-consciousness that makes any sort of social encounter an ordeal for me.
I'm not too good when exposed to people
I was too shy to be around real people. It wasn't like old ladies talking to plants.
I don't like going out. I hate clubs. I hate being around too many people.
There's a lot of annoying things about me. I don't know, I'm really shy at first, and I don't really like it. I wish I was a little more outgoing.
I have a fear of being boring.
Well, I don't go out much socially. I don't enjoy going out.
I hated speaking in public. I would miss school just so I wouldn't have to do it.
I had some social anxiety when I was younger because I wasn't surrounded by many people in my life.
Shyness is the fear of social disapproval or humiliation, while introversion is a preference for environments that are not overstimulating. Shyness is inherently painful; introversion is not.
