Social anxiety: You may be suffering from social anxiety disorder. Many people feel some anxiety talking to strangers but some feel quite intense anxiety and stress, so much so that they avoid strangers at all costs. You should talk to your primary care doctor about this and he/she may be able to refer you to a therapist that specializes in this and can work with you to develop strategies to help you with this.
