I’m worried my social anxiety is becoming severe. I’m just looking for an answer besides the one I already know. Which always is just that if I work hard enough on myself and enter my tunnel vision mode - my anxiety disappears. That includes exercise, discipline, and productivity. But until I get back to that point, please let me know what you think or these symptoms I’m experiencing. 

Whenever I run into someone I know as a surprise I get this tingling burning sensation immediately that hits my chest area. I then try to hide in myself and I do this thing where I basically just freeze. It’s super awkward and uncomfortable and literally makes me want to not leave my house. This usually happens more with girls than guys. I’m male.

I’m a yo yo when it comes to weight loss and gain. So it’s almost like my weight depicts my confidence anxiety. When I gain more weight I tend to be anxious and isolate more. 

I’d write more about myself but I just don’t think it’s necessary ATM. Just wondering if anyone can tell my why my body reacts like that to a harmless woman I run into. It’s like my body has a fight or flight response to nervousness - and I’m pretty sure if I was in better shape and more productive it wouldn’t be as bad. But there are other things about me that would come into play.
