Why do I feel uncomfortable in groups

If you keep asking why do I feel uncomfortable in groups, it usually means group settings may be amplifying visibility, uncertainty, and comparison in a way that makes them feel harder than one-to-one interaction. Group anxiety often feels less like one moment and more like a repeated inner position.

Interpersonal stress often rises in groups because there is more to monitor at once: attention, status, timing, belonging, and how you are landing with multiple people.
