Is anyone on the spectrum comfortable being out in crowds such as an event or maybe out shopping? If so, is your social discomfort only when you are one on one with someone or maybe with a couple of people when the situation requires conversation such as out to dinner, riding in a car, or maybe taking a walk with someone? Are there any other symptom that effect you when out socially?
In general, I'm okay around people that I am familiar with and comfortable around, such as longterm friends and my partner.
Normally I get quite anxious and agitated in big crowds if I'm in shops etc. and especially when it's really busy. That, in combination with it being extremely noisy, I also get really uncomfortable.
Sometimes I can be out with my partner who I'm extremely comfortable around and still feel anxious in crowds and public places, again especially when it is busy and loud.
I'm normally more comfortable with one-to-one conversations and with people I know, however with people I don't know I struggle with conversation as I never know when to speak or what to speak about and I worry I'm boring them to death or not interesting enough because I can never tell if someone is bored of me etc.
