- Crowds and lines
- Emotional intimacy
- Long personal conversations with people I don't know well
- Being by myself in public places I haven't been before, and especially having to wait and sit around by myself in public places I haven't been before and where I don't have a specific, obvious purpose. Going to, like, a bar to meet up with people and getting there early and having to wait by myself is probably the most consistent way to trigger my anxiety.
- Financial insecurity (this is probably more normal and less a crippling emotional issue)
- Having to ask for help
- Unfamiliar upcoming situations
