This happened to me yesterday at a friend's wedding. I just locked up and refused to go up. I ended up sitting alone at the table just looking at my phone. One of my friends felt sorry for me and came back after a few minutes so I wouldn't be alone. That made me feel bad, I want my friends to be able to enjoy dancing and just be able to leave me alone for that moment.

I don't like moving my body in front of people, I don't like risking being laughed at or facing public humiliation, but I'm ok with other things as long as everyone is focused on a task (activities, sports, games, etc.). I just don't like several eyes on me.

Does anyone else have this problem?

What are some thoughts/things that helped you overcome this anxiety?
