Anxiety: People with various kinds of anxiety problems can experience this. Sometimes they have panic attacks and fear having one in public. Others have what's called "agoraphobia" = "fear of open spaces." sometimes they've been through traumatic experiences and being in large groups of people is a painful trigger. You could learn more -- and get help -- by meeting with a trained psychotherapist.
