Jason is experiencing Evaluation Apprehension. This is a theoretical model created by Nickola Cottrell which indicates that we learn to feel self-conscious or frightened in situations in which we can be judged by others, because we fear social disapproval. If we consider that the people we are facing cannot judge us, we do not feel this discomfort.

I hope my answer can help you.
