For me, it affects going out alone and thus, doing things on my own, when others are around.
I hate the idea that I am being scrutinized and thus, have to do major psyching up to just pop down my road for something and I mean: I can see my chemist, from my drive and thus, literally a 2 minute work and yet, it might as well be hours away!
We have a bar/tobac as our neighbours ( live in France and so, not like your usual rowdy pub etc) and to go to our bins, which is again, 2 mins away, I have to walk passed and because there is a no smoking ban, inside the building, all congregate outside and so, I usually go on a monday, because the pub is closed.
The bus stop is again, just a few feet away and yet, for the life of me, I cannot cope getting on it!
It high lights very much my stupidity and shame!
It all comes down to be looked at, which I honestly cannot cope with!
