For me, it’s a failure to “perform” basic human actions. For me, freezing can involve becoming nonverbal or unintelligible, losing muscle tone or control (walking funny), or acting like a child.
My brain is aware that I’m not functioning, and I feel out of control and it can be embarrassing.
Yes, absolutely. My wife used to yell at me for “walking like an idiot” in cities before we knew what was happening. Tripping on things, bumping people, etc. it really sucks
