hi there thank you all for your reply i been seeing a
psychologist for a couple of weeks and i been on 20 mg seroxat for many years which i don't feel they are doing anything and my doctor don't really
encourages anxiety meds but this is really putting me down having to have a panic when meeting some and then spend the day wondering why .

Social anxiety is the fear of social situations and the interaction with other people that can automatically, bring on feelings of self-consciousness, judgment, evaluation, and inferiority.
