Hello,
You might be having Social Anxiety Disorder or Social Phobia.
Social Phobia is managed with counseling and medication. 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.
