To me, it sounds like you have some OCD and some Social anxiety problems. I think you could find some help/relief with a good thorough assessment and diagnosis, the correct medication(s)(this may take some trial and error), and most definitely some good CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). The above mentioned could help correct some of the chemical imbalance problems that are at least partly (i think a lot) responsible for your symptoms. The CBT can/will teach you how to cope, how to accept what you cannot change and possibly teach you some good social interaction techniques. I have both OCD, and Social anxiety, along with major depression, all of which are much better since being on medication and going through CBT. I wish you well.
