What is a long time?: Sounds like you have some degree of social anxiety. Are these familiar or unfamiliar people? If this disrupts your ability to function (i.e., you have difficulty attending business meetings), you may want to get some counseling. If it is not too disruptive, you may have to work around your discomfort by limiting the amount of time you spend around crowds, especially those composed of strangers.
