Hi,
I read your query and can understand your distress. From what you have mentioned, it is likely that you might be suffering from social anxiety disorder. Social anxiety is a situation where you avoid social situations, feel that you are always being scrutinized by others and worry that you might embarrass yourself publicly.
It would be advisable that you consult a psychiatrist for your problems. Medications like selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors are effective for your condition. In addition, treatment with behavior therapy sessions will help you in controlling your anxiety. You will need regular sessions (1-2) per week with trained therapist for the same.
Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
