I live alone in a room away from my parents so that i can find any solution to this problem. i know it is mental issue and i have read couple of books on mental issues and be positive in life but the problem is persistent. Kindly help me to overcome this situation. I haven't told to my parents about this condition.
You might be having Social Anxiety Disorder or Social Phobia. Social Phobia is managed with counseling and medication therapy. In counseling particularly Cognitive Behavior Therapy is used. Areas in which patient feels anxious are identified first, numbered according to severity and then patient is taught how to overcome this anxiety by breathing exercise and relaxation techniques. And patient is exposed to these situations accordingly. In medications anti depressants and anxiolytics are used to treat underlying anxiety and depression. Beta-blockers are used to treat physical symptoms of anxiety such as rapid heart beats and tremors.
