First of all my advice to you would be to forget about labelling your supposed "problem" and try to defeat it. Society has nurtured us to first admit that we have a problem inorder to overcome it. Well, sometimes this can complicate things.
For instance, your psychiatrist would tell you that you have low confidence. But what is confidence. Basically it is being in control of your life and doing things that you know is right regardless of what others think.
In other words, its having a lack of insecurities. Whatever makes you insecure about others when you're around them is what you need to purge from system.
Some people become nervous around others due to a number of reasons. Whether they are more beautiful, richer, powerful or have worthier possessions.
Possibly these are the things that make you FEEL insecure, and removing them would inturn boost your "confidence". To do this, simply do things that make you feel good both inside and out.
Dress a bit more classy and sophisticated. Hold your chin up and your chest out when you walk. Often these subtle tweaks can seem ackward and feel uncomfortable at first, but after a while it'll come naturally.
However, if you don't believe that making these changes will work then try this test. Frown, sink your chest with your head down. Do that for about 10 minutes or so. How does it feel?
Take a break for a minute, clear your mind and smile, push your chest out with your head up. Do that for 10 minutes too. How does that feel? Feels much better, right!
Another reason could be that some people are afraid because of the unknown or not in control. Swimming in the ocean or being in the same room with a tarantula can really freak someone out, because its just natural.
Once you start spending more time doing things that make you feel uncomfortable, you won't fear them anymore. So start associating with people that are either richer, more powerful or beautiful than you and soon you'll realize that they are the same.
Beneath our clothes, money, house, career and wealth we are all human!
Hope you have understand now how to deal with your situation, and is successful in improving yourself.
If you need my advice again, just asK.

I CAN'T THINK OF THE NAME.....
JUST REMEMBER THAT THERE IS ALWAYS SOMEONE OUT THERE THAT IS MORE FABULOUS, AND LESS FABULOUS.
IT'S ALL RELATIVE, BABY!
THERE IS SO MUCH MORE THAT MAKES UP A PERSON THAN PHYSICAL BEAUTY.
QUIT COMPARING YOURSELF TO OTHERS. YOU WILL ALWAYS FEEL LACKING AROUND THOSE YOU ADMIRE IF YOU FOCUS ON ENVY.
FOCUS ON WHAT'S GOOD.....

That is being insecure, not afraid of people that look better than you.
