What could this be..? Help please?

Question

I basically fear social situations.

I'm fine in shops, malls etc but going to parties and bars gets too much.. i have this fear that someone is going to start a fight with me (weird i know) .. I'm not worried about getting hurt I'm worried about looking stupid and people watching me fighting :| i avoid parties because i think people will criticize me or i will embarrass myself.. i hate going out on my own and feel like i always need someone there. its got to the point where i cant bare to ring up for a job interview in case i get rejected :s when I'm out of my comfort zone i feel really sick.. my heart beats really fast and sometimes it scares me. basically i have no social life at all! i have friends but i don't go out and meet new people in case they don't like me.. I'm always feeling self conscious! Its been like this for say 8 months now and i feel its getting worse.. do you know whats wrong with me..? ;'(

Thankyou

Answer 1

it sounds like social anxiety disorder

you should talk to your doctor.  some antidepressants help with that.  behavioral therapy might also help.

Answer 2

Maybe social anxiety?? or  when your heart beats really fast you could be having a panic attack, but i don't think so. Probably is some form of social anxiety.

Answer 3

u could check your doctor to see what is wrong because your hormone could grow rapidly or somethiing ...it could be natural to be like taht because you're scared like me trying to talk to a girl ... but in case see a doctor

Answer 4

Well... I'm a psychology student... and I know why your afraid of meeting new people and going to parties.

One of the reason could be: You are used to people who treat you bad

                                           you are out to prove or afraid that everybody

                                           is bad. Just like if your used to people  

                                           treating you nice, you prove people are nice

                                            and avoid the bad ones...

You said its been like this the las 8 months:

Hm.. I don't know about this try tracing back what you did or what happened...
