Yeah, my attacks tend to take the form of extreme nausea choking me up and making me unable to talk without gagging, so I basically just get even more quiet than usual and start looking around for a bathroom, exit, or somewhere that I can at least be alone without fear of anyone trying to talk to me so I don't come off as rude for refusing to answer them. If I catch it early enough and need to escape I just tell people I'm feeling sick (not a lie) and need to go get some air/find a bathroom.

If most people could actually spot that as an anxiety attack, I'd be really surprised.

As would I, I don't know what people are hearing about anxiety attacks, but they present differently in every person and in most cases you wouldn't know unless someone just all out told you. Hell even people who are having one may not recognize it until they're properly diagnosed because they can look and feel like many other illnesses.

BTW I wish you the best with your anxiety and hope you are doing well. <3
