user

RIght I thought I was the only one.

No it's surprisingly common. It can lead to a condition called agoraphobia, in which people are reluctant to go far from home

Information
That's how I feel. I have a boyfriend and we have a very close relationship but its like when I get around a crowd of people I get anxious.
user

*nods understandingly* Sometimes I feel that my boyfriend is the only person I feel totally comfortable with. I hate interacting with other people. That's why I do crowd work lol
assistant
Self-disclosure
LOL yes. I feel like I'm anti social sometimes
user

I don't think it's really anti social, it's just a result of a chemical imbalance I think. But it's a nuisance. I hope I have been able to provide you with some help and let you know that you are not on your own in this! Can you be the first to press the quit button and then take the survey as I can't do it from my end :)
