Brief Answer:
Sit back, believe in yourself and projecy confidence!

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

This is anxiety attacks and happens because you are afraid to talk to new people. The best way to overcome this once and for all is to build your confidence. However, this is difficult in the short term and I will recommend propranolol 50mgh before going to occasions. This makes you bold and feel relaxed when talking to persons that you would have been normally nervous. But, this remains a temporary solution as the main long term goal is being able to handle them without the need of medications. As you grow older, this will also ease.

In all, anxiety attacks. Propranolol would help. However, practice to otay calm and relaxed when talking to persons around you-both familiar and unfamiliar faces.

I wish you well. Keep me posted on how this plays out.
