Hello.....
Thanks for your query. You appear to suffer from a form of anxiety disorder referred to as social anxiety disorder. The treatment includes:
1. Anti-anxiety medication like SSRIs
2. Psychotherapy techniques like CBT/ Cognitive behavioural therapy
Yoga, meditation and breathing relaxation exercises are likely to benefit you. I would suggest you meet a psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation of your anxiety symptoms and rule out other anxiety disorders. Wish you good health.
