What are some coping mechanisms you use in public that are discreet? I feel like my coping mechanisms that I use to get confidence in taking to someone in public draw attention to me, then it just makes me more anxious.

@Kimmiepooh that's a good coping skill! Whatever works!

My anxiety gets so bad in public that I twirl my ring around my finger constantly until the conversation is over. It's a bad habit but I can't help it.

Any grounding excerise can be discreet, I personally like rainbow grounding. Find an item for each color of the rainbow! It feels like a little scavenger hunt, and I feel accomplished when I finish it.
I don't know if this will work for you, but if something is getting to be too much, I'll say I need to go to the bathroom and just take a break in there. It also feels safer to use coping mechanisms.
@GreyCat32 the change of scenery also helps!
