I always very strong fear when I need to visit officials, even administrative servants or clerks. I think it can be called phobia, because I cannot explain, why I feel this fear. Today I went to apply to obtain visa. There was long queue, and the nearer I came to the entrance, the stronger was my desire to run away. I feel me nearly sick in such situations, and I cannot eat, if I plan to visit official organization in th morning.
In the university, when I need to get information about our schedule or solve any problems, I prefer to ask my friends if it is possible, to do this for me.
The problem is, is think, about contact with people: in some places, where it is not necessary to speak with people, it is much easier. For example, when I sign up to special journal, and come next day to take the papers, I prefer to do this, even I can get document faster, but through talking with clerk.
In most cases I can go through this all, and get papers I need (last case with visa was also successful), but it is very big stress for me every time.
Does anyone have similar problems? Any advices, why this happen and what to do?
