Sometimes I even talk to myself, infact I talk to myself often these days and I feel very lonely all the time, even when I am around people. Is there a need for me to consult a psychiatrist/psychologist?

Hi when you say anxiety would do you mean please elaborate. I am sure there are some things at the back of your mind that seem to be bothering you. I would suggest visit to a Psychologist who can help in teaching you some relaxation exercises, can work on activity scheduling and can also help in working on your thoughts. Along with this if symptoms are very severe you may also need to consult a psychiatrist. But for the exact accurate decision, I will definitely a detailed case history.

It would be better, yes , if you consult a Psychologist and understand the reason behind this anxiety.
Once you come to know the trigger of it, you might probably handle it better than before.
