I get so uncomfortable in crowds of people, too. Especially if it's around people I don't know that well.
Take the church thing. There I am, surrounded by people whom I've seen a bazillion times, but I don't know any of their names for the life of me. And I feel like I'm being interrogated, too. "How old are you?" "Are you in school?" "Are you working?" "Do you have a girlfriend (they're OBSESSED with that one)?" And I keep getting asked all those questions over and over and OVER again by different people!!!
I'm sorry. :-(
It's past my bedtime, so I better get some sleep. Good night.
I always hate getting the 3rd degree too.
I know what you mean. It is why I only do my shopping early in the morning. I feel very uncomfortable in crowds. I get asked similar questions too. I get asked if I have a girlfriend too.
