Feeling low
I always feel low in a social gathering and try to avoid them. I have began to hate looking at myself in the mirror and feel very low. I feel very comfortable when I'm alone and don't feel like talking to anyone. I can't maintain eye contact and end up stammering, sweating and confused when speaking to someone. It's been a long time(more than 3 years) I've been experiencing this. I feel like I'm being watched, criticised and judged always (even when I'm alone!). But strangely though I do feel very elated at times and presume I can do anything but then the fear again creeps up from nowhere and it repeates! Is there any way of ending this up?

Hi. From what you have mentioned, it seems that you are suffering from symptoms of social anxiety disorder. It is a condition where one feels uncomfortable in public with the fear of embarrassing self and avoids social situations. Please consult a psychiatrist and get yourself evaluated. Treatment with medications and cognitive behavioural therapy will help you get better.
Next Steps
Seek a psychiatric consultation.
