Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. In one way everyone has their own anxiety symptoms. Some are anxious to talk to strangers, to talking on stage, to write exams, to be in a high place, to insects, to water and so on. the list is end less. If you categorize by just anxiety symptoms, everyone in the world will come under anxiety disorder.

Therefore, to determine whether you have any social anxiety or not, first just ignore the symptoms for around 5 years. Then if you feel, you can consult a psychologist.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
