Answer 2

Social Phobia. A high degree of anxiety related to exposure to social situations. The anxiety is continual, exaggerated and often leads to avoidance.

You could do a Google Search on Panic Disorders. I am wondering if you have ever had a full-blown panic attack where you have to breathe into a paper bag to settle down. You must get some advice on this as it is not good to be going places where you are frightened of going. Can you talk to your parents??

Answer 3

Social Anxiety.
