Suffering from social anxiety and shynes
I am 35 years old male. I am facing very tremendous fear while talking in public. This has ruined my life. I am married and have 5 year cute daughter. Though i have passed out in 2005 but i got my first job in 2010 and that also with help of my friend. The reason behind is the social anxiety. I can not talk in group of people, rather i always tried to avoid social situation. I do not like to meet new people and interact with them. If any girl is there in group then this problem becomes worst.

Anxiety (intense nervousness) and self-consciousness arise from a fear of being closely watched, judged, and criticized by others.
