Afraid of Talking to Someone

2018-03-28 11:06:54
I always afraid of what will someone think about me when I talk to them, especially strangers. Also, I don't feel comfortable when everyone puts their attention on me. Is this something normal or do I have social phobia?

It's not abnormal enough to be in social phobia. I would suggest that you seek professional help from a counselor
