Summary

Do you feel a tightness in your chest and a racing heart anytime you have to speak up for yourself, whether in a large group or small? Does the very idea that others could perceive you as looking uncomfortable or frightened make these symptoms even worse? Do you vigilantly avoid potential panic triggers, and always think the worst is bound happen?
