Hello and Welcome to HCM

The symptoms described by you points towards "social anxiety disorder".
Following treatment strategies can help-
1) Anti anxiety agents like SSRIs- Paroxetine, sertraline, Escitalopram etc
2) Benzodiazepines like clonazepam, lorazepam etc
3) Beta blockers like propranolol ( You can take 20-40 mg propranolol 30 min prior to any social get-together.
4) Counselling sessions and Relaxation techniques like deep breathing, Progressive muscle relaxation, yoga etc

Don't worry. Consult a psychiatrist for detailed evaluation and treatment.
