Feeling Anxiety in Crowded Restaurant

I have experienced this recently. I went to the restaurant. And it was full. None of the people there were solo. And that caused a lot of anxiety to me. I have noticed that when the people are full in the places. It becomes kind of feeling of spaced out and leads to anxiety atleast for me. I can't say the same for others.

Have you experienced something like this in social scenario?
 
I had this issue when I was in my early teens but I gradually overcome my issues as I grew older. Back then I did not know how I had social anxiety, everyone called me a shy boy and they thought it was normal. A lot of people mistake social anxiety with being intimidated.
