Many thanks for sharing your fears. I will update my list I keep so in the future other can know they’re not alone with such things. I can certainly relate to fear of being stopped by the police (even though I’ve done nothing wrong) and worrying about how people will judge what I’m buying in the supermarket. Thanks, Nick

Shopping: for clothes — when asking for a bigger size of a particular piece of clothing and irrationally thinking how the retail person will judge you; for groceries — buying some unhealthy food and thinking how others will think you shouldn’t be buying those foods.

Hi, thanks I found this very useful. I have a few things to add.
For me driving is something that I fear, mainly incase I make mistakes but have feared that I could be stopped by the police (I fear authority figures)
Being observed while stuck in traffic and fear of having an accient and having to write in front of a person.

Going for a walk on my own.

Going on holiday would be a major problem particulary as I do not feel comfortable eating in public.
