Something like being among a group of people where the AMOG has much higher rapport for reasons I cannot compete with (e.g. that group forming around a joint interest that I don't care about at all)?

I care too much about being the center of attention that when something like this happens I completely shut down (freeze), or avoid those situations altogether (flight).

I have too much pride to accept being dominated by someone else. Also, I am too jealous to see someone else getting attention and I cannot. I get angry if the AMOG tries to assert their position me and not just leave me alone (that tends to happen a lot; it must be something with my body language that attracts attention to me).

A similar event is coming soon at my workplace and I am debating whether I should go or not. Thoughts?
