Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
This condition that you are having is called social phobia and it is a type of specific phobia. This requires medical as well as psychological help. In medical help, medicines such as paroxetine or venlafaxine or mirtazapine will be helpful. Among psychological treatments cognitive behavioural therapy and systematic desensitization would be helpful.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
