Do I have social anxiety??

Sounds like a tell tale sign of SA. I myself have been dealing with this for years. I personally believe that our relationships with parents, especially the father plays a major role. Changing this takes a lot of effort and persistence. This is why many of us continue to stay stuck in our comfort zones. I can totally relate to being afraid of confrontation. I tend to be somewhat of a pushover and I know how frustrating it can be. All I can tell you is that the only way out of this is through it. Discover yourself. Push yourself. Speak your mind even when you know someone will disagree. And learn to ask for things (major issue for me).
Just out of curiosity what type of meds are you taking and are they at all helpful, if you don't mind my asking? Reason I ask is because I too have been having panic attacks which I believe were triggered by marijuana use. Best of luck to you friend! Oh, and another helpful tool is meetup. You can find people with similar interests which I think makes a hell of a difference in how you do in social situations. Best of luck friend!

 

Small talk goes a long way toward being social with strangers. Learning how to converse about meaningless things like the weather and sports and segue into more meaningful topics is a skill everyone should have.

 

Hey, everything ok, almost everyone faced once with the same situation. Actually, me too. For the first, in a company don't think everyone evaluates you, just breathe, - deep breathing helps you calm down. And, also I found out
Follow the 3-3-3 rule.
Look around you and name three things you see. Then, name three sounds you hear. Finally, move three parts of your body -- your ankle, fingers, or arm. Whenever you feel your brain going 100 miles per hour, this mental trick can help center your mind, bringing you back to the present moment. Good luck!)

 

You fear being judged by others. This is a desire for control over the other person's thoughts you have, where you have none. You want to appear likeable to others so bad that the uncertainty is stressing you out.
You do not have to be liked by others. In your own mind another person's thoughts cannot exist, so why even give them any attention? It's like trying to paint the sky or trying to fly without wings. You cannot control another person's thoughts or impression, but you can learn to control your own thoughts.

I personally think social anxiety occurs when we feel deep inside us that we are some kind of less of fulfilled person as compared to people around us.
Few of my friends are highly accomplished in life. In very young age they drive expensive cars and have multiple women in life. In company of those I feel a little anxious.
On the other hand few other friends are medium achievers, I feel comfortable with them.
And with under accomplished one's I feel like a boss.
I had social anxiety too.
What helped me-
1) earning some kind of money- sense of purpose in life.
2) looking attractive- I am bodily handsome tall and lean muscles. But my face is not so beautiful. I compensated by doing exercises.
I dress good now.

Now I can't say I am totally cured from SA but can surely say it is mitigated to great extent.
