Hello,

Thanks for using healthcaremagic.

Your problem is a psychiatric symptoms. Avoidance and apprehension are there. From your narration first possibility is social phobia or social anxiety disorder.
Another possibility is idea or delusion of reference. For confirmation detail history of your problem is required.
Both problem can be treated with medicines.
If social phobia is there, SSRI group of medicines with anti anxiety drugs would be helpful.Simultaneous psychotherapy, specifically cognitive behavior therapy(CBT) would be helpful.
If delusion symptoms is there, antipsychotic medicine will be helpful.
So without suffering more, consult a psychiatrist and get rid of your problem.

Hope I have answered your query,
Regards,
