I've had social anxiety disorder for most of my life, and what you are describing sounds like social anxiety disorder. Cognitive-behavioral therapy is what has helped me the most. "Exposure therapy" - doing the thing you fear as much as possible helps you realize it's not as scary as you think. Klonopin has also helped my social anxiety.
