I, personally, have moderate social
anxiety disorder. Therapists can do
wonderful things to help you with the
fears. There are also many medications
available to help as well. Have you spoken
to a doctor about your concerns?

It is a very common condition. I think
that you should speak to your doctor about
it. There are many things that they can do
to help.

Do what mc4ever02 said. However, in order
to overcome a fear - you must face it. I
had social anxiety just a short while ago
but what I started doing is going out all
the time and being in public places and
hanging out with friends. The more you are
surrounded by social situations, the less
fear of them you start to have. It's true.

That is very common. You are definitely
not alone in feeling that way. Counseling
will probably be the most help for you.
Have you looked into counseling at all?

So do you feel better if it's dark? I'm
like that when I was a in high school. I
had baggy eyes and whenever I see people
walking towards me I bow my head down
while I walk. THat really catches their
attention a lot and I get paranoid if
whether they're talking about me. All of
that happened when I was in elementary to
high school. The thing is, people don't
really care about you as long as you
aren't doing anything strange. They got
problems of their own. Plus they
absolutely even have some insecurities too
on themselves. So it's okay to relax and
lay back. Try this, instead of thinking
that they're looking at you, do it to some
people. Stare at people and don't break it
till they do, of course, your facial
expression should be calm and secure. It
kinda worked on me but I don't know if it
would too on other people. But regardless,
try it. Though I think it's a dumb advice,
try it.
