Getting nervous in public is called interpersonal nervousness or social anxiety.
They are anxious about what others think of them and avoid doing anything or interacting with others in public.
When you get on an elevator, you think you can ride alone, but someone comes up behind you and you think, “Wow! I don’t like it” and you feel uncomfortable, you are nervous about people.
If you feel like you have to call someone to inquire about something, and you can’t call them right away, you may have interpersonal tension.
When you are playing some role at work or something, there is no problem, but if you feel “It’s a bummer” when you have to meet with people in your private life, you may have interpersonal nervousness.
People who are nervous around other people often experience, “Why does the other person behave uncomfortably when I speak?” This is a very common experience.
This is because there is a subtle tension when you have a conversation, and that tension is transmitted to the other person. The other person does not perceive that tension as “interpersonal tension,” but interprets it as an attitude of mockery, and so the other person’s attitude becomes more and more strange. Even though You have interpersonal tension, but you are not aware of it, so you become angry at the fact that you are the only one who is being offended.
In the case of interpersonal tension, the mechanism that peripheral immune cells become active due to latent chronic inflammation of traumatic stress and attack non-enemies as if they were enemies is very easy to understand.
Latent chronic inflammation activates peripheral immune cells, which in turn causes cognitive decline and agnosia (inability to recognize objects, faces, etc.), which makes the person tense because he or she regards the other person as an enemy.
Loss of speech occurs due to cognitive decline, and words do not come out even if you try to speak properly.
The reason why they behave rudely and do things they are not supposed to say or do to someone they consider an enemy is because of the aphasia caused by the decline in cognitive function. When apraxia occurs, they think at the time, “What I did was not wrong because the other person was wrong,” but later they become afraid, “Why did I do what I did?”
Furthermore, memory impairment also occurs, so they repeat the same mistakes over and over again and do not learn. And since they are not aware that they are suffering from memory impairment, they curse their misfortune and wonder, “Why am I in such a bad situation?”
The traumatic stress that is the source of this interpersonal tension could be “I was made to feel bad by my mother when I was born” (as written in the narrative).
When you give birth to a child, the hormone of maternal behavior (prolactin) is released, and this makes you feel like “I have to protect this child! In addition, the hormone oxytocin, which is called the “love hormone” or “bonding hormone,” is secreted during breastfeeding, which naturally makes us feel that “this child is important”.
In some cases, when there has been a previous miscarriage or stillbirth, when the husband has been unfaithful during pregnancy, or when the mother has been under tremendous stress, the hormones that condition the baby after birth are no longer secreted (this is just a narrative). The mother then “feels sick of her child!” (by the way, we believe this phenomenon occurs even if there is a difference in intelligence between the mother and the baby at birth).
Being made to feel sick by the mother, who provides breast milk and sustains life, is worth the fear of death to the baby, and so latent chronic inflammation occurs. The autoimmunity triggered by latent chronic inflammation causes the baby to attack itself as a “sickening being”.
But they are not aware that they are attacking themselves.
A clear example of a person who is attacking himself is that he is overly nervous about people outside and always says “that person is wrong” and constantly criticizes people who do not follow rules and manners in his mind (this is a narrative).
The reason why they can only recognize vulgar or ugly people who do not follow manners and rules is because they are suffering from agnosia due to cognitive decline, but the reason behind this is that their autoimmunity is attacking them as “unpleasant.
When you are nervous about people, or when you get angry at people who do not follow rules or manners, you should realize that your peripheral immune cells are active and attacking you with “I am uncomfortable”. When you realize that your immune system is attacking the “unpleasant me” that is your traumatic stress, your tension toward people decreases because reckless driving of the autoimmunity subside.
And as the chronic inflammation gradually disappears and cognitive functions become normal, you can return to your true self.
