People pleasing?: Only you know the specific answer to this question, for you. But some people become anxious in social situations because they want to be perceived in a certain way, and they're constantly on guard for fear of being "found out" as not being this way. They worry about what others are thinking of them, what impression they are making, rather than being interested in getting to know the others.
