For anyone with social anxiety or anyone who has had it, have you even been in a situation where you couldnt think at all? Like you just become frozen????

Like i was out with my husband and he saw his friends and as they were all talking I froze up and literally the only thing I could think about was where to look at, or where to move my hands, how to stand. and Too make matters worse, I was sweating SO MUCH. Like i could feel sweat rolling down my arms!! Someone tried talking to me but i said the bare minimum because I just could not think and it made me so mad!!

Im tired of this happening to me!!Like i’d imagine this happens for normal people going on stage in front of a large group but no i was just going out to a store and this happened! Im on medication that I just started a month ago and it obviously hasnt kicked in yet...

Does anyone know any tricks they do to calm down in the moment? Or any tips on how to focus?? It might sound really dumb but I really need help. My husband got irritated with me, asking me like hey you dont know how to have a conversation?!?” I tried to explain to him how I felt, and he just tells me to figure something out because its annoying when i cant talk to his friends.. yea im annoyed with my self too 🙄 ..so anyways, here i am asking for help.
