Based on your symptoms it seems to be performance anxiety, if you experience trembling, palpitations, sweating in this situation and it is causing distress in your work function better to consult psychiatrist.

To answer your clarification question directly: Yes, your description fits performance anxiety / performance-only social anxiety rather than generalized social anxiety disorder. In clinical psychiatry, Social Anxiety Disorder (SAD) can present in two primary ways: Generalized Social Anxiety: Anxiety triggered across almost all social settings (crowds, casual conversations, making small talk with strangers, public transport). Performance-Only Specifier: Anxiety strictly restricted to situations where your performance or professional competence is actively being evaluated, judged, or scrutinized—such as job interviews, speaking to HR/managers, oral presentations, or formal evaluations. Because you comfortably navigate crowds, travel alone, and talk to everyday people normally, your social functioning is intact. The spike in anxiety occurs specifically when an authority differential or high-stakes evaluation is present, triggering a fear of negative judgment and activating your sympathetic nervous system ("fight-or-flight" response).

Based on what you've described, this seems more consistent with performance (situational) anxiety than generalized social anxiety, since your anxiety occurs mainly during interviews or interactions with authority figures while you're comfortable in most other social situations. If it significantly affects your confidence or performance, consult a psychiatrist or psychologist—effective treatment with CBT, and medication if needed, can help.

Based on what you've described, this does not sound like typical generalized social anxiety disorder. Since you are comfortable in crowds, can travel alone, and interact with people normally, but become anxious mainly in situations where you feel you are being evaluated (such as interviews, speaking with HR, or managers), it is more suggestive of performance anxiety or a circumscribed (specific) form of social anxiety related to evaluative situations. If these symptoms are limited to such situations and are causing significant distress or affecting your career, they can be effectively managed with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, and, in selected cases, medications. A detailed assessment can help confirm the diagnosis and guide appropriate treatment.
