Hi,From what you have mentioned, you seem to have symptoms of social phobia. It is a condition where you are not comfortable in social situations, avoid meeting new people, feel that people are constantly noticing you and fear embarrassment in public.You should seek a psychiatric consultation for initiating treatment. Medications like paroxetine will help. In addition, treatment with psychotherapy in form of cognitive behavior therapy can be opted for. It will consist of sessions which will focus on  relaxation and learning ways to cope up and overcome your fear of public.Hope that you find this information helpful. Best wishes.
