A member asked:

Why is it that i feel so stressed & scared every time i have to deal with people?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Sounds like SAD: This sounds like social anxiety disorder, but it could be avoidant personality disorder or some other psychiatric cause. Please see a psychologist or psychiatrist for appropriate diagnosis and treatment. Good luck to you.
