Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and thanks for your query.

From the description of your symptoms, it appears that you are suffering from a problem called Social Anxiety. This is characterized by difficulty in facing social situations and experiencing fear and anxiety in public gatherings.

The treatment for Social Anxiety is predominantly psychological therapy. There are effective therapies like Cognitive Behavioural Behavioural Therapy (CBT) which can help you overcome your fear and negative pattern of thinking. There are several specific behavioural therapies, relaxation therapies, hypnotherapy, psychodynamic psychotherapy, etc. which have also been proven to be helpful. So, I would suggest that you consult a psychiatrist in your place for further treatment.
