Psychiatrist 's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

I think, you have social phobia and in that case, you need low dose antidepressant with benzodiazepine. These would help to control conscious anxiety. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper treatment. You can also try relaxation exercise. That would also try some relaxation exercise.

Thanks
