It's perfectly normal! We all have moments when we feel suffocated and anxious. Sometimes the air helps. Test yourself and try public places in small doses. You can do it!

Normal is a weird metric-- I think a lot of people definitely experience social anxiety, but only you can know if yours is becoming a problem. Certainly, most people can relate to feeling overstimulated or unsafe in a crowded environment. Overall though, that level of stress is probably not healthy, and definitely decreasing your enjoyment of social situations. You may want to look through the self-help guides on the top banner, and see if the Anxiety or Panic Attack guide is useful to you. Good luck :).

Being alone, in an unknown place can be quite overwhelming, especially when you crave comfort and control.

Normal is a difficult word to use, but what you're feeling isn't mentally healthy. It sounds like you might be experiencing some social anxiety. It might help you to form a coping strategy for when you have to go into these public places and find different things that help you cope with your anxiety, such as breathing exercises, mantras that you can repeat in your head, music, distractions on your phone, etc.

Social anxiety is a real thing and it's normal to feel that way if you have it. The best thing to do is get somewhere where you feel okay again and observe your current situation so you'll understand and feel okay again.

It can be normal for people who don't like being in public places, it can often be due to claustrophobia or just not being use to crowds or public places.

If you are feeling this way it means you have a form of anxiety, feelings of shakiness, wanting to rush out are normal symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. I would suggest talking to someone here on 7 Cups or maybe a friend or family member if you are more comfortable with that. :)
