xenophobia is fear of strangers - especially foreigners.
Arachnophobia is fear of arachnids - spiders.
Neither of those is the answer you are looking for. Fear of people is a broad subject. On what level - if you are generally afraid of people, you have a serious psychological disorder, I would guess a psychiatric disorder that only medication can fix. Talk therapy won't work if you are afraid of your therapist.
A general fear of people is called anthrophobia.

I think you're probably referring to social anxiety or social phobia. This is something which I suffer from myself and it can be very restrictive if you let it control you. I'd advise that you seek help with this problem, there are many sites online which can advise you on what is best to do, but a combination of medication and some kind of talk therapy could help you.
