Communication is an integral component of day to day living. People can be broadly classified into introvert and extrovert. For an introvert it’s by their nature that they dislike public gathering, extroverts attain pleasure from being interactive with everyone.
If you have been suffering from anxiety since childhood, and haven’t assessed yourself for possible differentials like social anxiety, specific phobia, generalised anxiety, personality traits favouring dependent or anxious personality, attention deficit etc, then do consult a psychiatrist once if the anxiety is hampering your ability to progress in life at both personal and professional levels.
Next Steps
There are various available treatment options post evaluation if treatment is needed. Consulting a psychiatrist would help.
