Does this sound like an anxiety disorder to you?

Get an appointment and relax while you are visiting.

You’re there for the books. Not for contact or socializing with others. I’d chill out if I were you.

I can’t remember, are you in high school? I was kind of like this in high school. I don’t think it’s necessarily a disorder, but the mindset isn’t doing you any favors, and there’s no reason not to seek therapy if it’s bothering you.

I feel this way most of the places I go. Especially B&N. I prefer Books-A-Million, really. But I digress… I just deal with it and try not to cry… or fall to the floor… or puke over everyone… or scream my lungs out in embarrassment…

If you are in your teens? It could be egocentrism, an acute awareness of people ‘looking at you’ or feeling stared at. Resulting in social awkwardness. Or you could be stressed, or have social phobia. If it bothers you a lot, perhaps seek an expert opinion.

I felt like that a lot in my teen years, too. I couldn’t even walk through the mall by myself because of it. In my case, it was anxiety, and it grew worse as I got older. If you feel it’s preventing you from living a full life, therapy couldn’t hurt.
