You have Social Anxiety. See a thereapist or join group therapy.
It doesn't make you creepy, don't listen to those jerks.

With most social phobias, what you really need to do is practice. Force yourself a little at a time.
The guy at Subway is a guy like you, he has mostly the same hopes and fears that you do and is probably a decent guy, why be afraid of him?
Get involved with some group, a hobby club or some sort of social club. It's easier to open up around people that share common interests, and it will help build your confidence.

You are likely to have low self esteem, in my opinion. I think you should practice shouting to yourself in private, to get used to using your voice in this manner. Then start trying to raise your voice at Subway gradually. You will find that it is easier than you think. And so what if people turn and look at you? You are just trying to place an order, for goodness sake. As long as you are polite, you will receive the same kindness in return, most of the time.

That sounds like social anxiety. You can talk to your doctor about this, it is a treatable condition. To work on it yourself. Practice yelling in your back yard with a friend. Try to have a good time and laugh at it. If you can do that, you can actually practice it in public. Have your friend move away from you so that you have to call out to him. Do so and keep in mind that others can hear you. It's okay for that, so you should be okay other places too. Hang in there, you can get through this and you can get it treated.

ok something happened here. if in your childhood or whatever you were bullied or abused or your scaared of certain type of people this probably makes you this way but try to speak up and theres nothing to really be shy of so remember that and try not to conform yourself with what you didnt ask for

just try to talk, from who are you shy? not being shy is good for you. but in subway, that people there dont even know you, so why do you care. just stop caring about others.

maybe you were taught to keep quiet or maybe your afraid of what people might think of you. So try being more out spoken make more friends talk more.
