Hi,
You may be suffering from social anxiety disorder. But we need not worry. This is an easily treatable condition with psychotherapy, and sometimes needing drugs also. Drugs like SSRI, benzodiazepines are commonly used. No need to reject promotion. Just see a psychiatrist for initial evaluation and management. You may be requested to seek help of a psychologist also.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
