I can point you in the right direction. You need to sit down and explore what is happening and why it is happening in detail. That will require several sessions with an experienced therapist. It's common for people to jump to the worst conclusion that there is something wrong with you, but I can assure you, that is a false conclusion. there may be things you need to learn about yourself, but that does not mean you are a damaged person.
One thing you can be happy about is that you don't suffer of an actual disorder of the mind, which is the source of a whole lot of misery for a lot of people. I have a feeling you'd probably get diagnosed with something like social anxiety, but that really doesn't mean anything as far as pathology. Trust me, don't let anyone put you on medication for this...you don't need a psychiatrist, you should see a clinical social worker (aka therapist), I think they would be very helpful to guide you.
Thank you very much for your help and I will follow up with a therapist. I just wanted you to know how very much it means to me that someone can understand where I'm coming from.
Again. . .MANY MANY THANKS FOR YOUR HELP AND SUGGESTIONS!
