How To Get Rid Of Socializing Fear?

i am a 22 yr old female. Something always prohibits me from doing things.It mainly reflects in my talk. I feel that something limits me around my mouth while facing someone. Always I have some fear inside. I don t like to participate in functions. I fear about it. If some guests arrive, my heart will beat fast and I fear about talking to them.I always bother about what others think about me.When I participate in a function, I can t involve in that happiness. At that time,I have a great fear and tension inside and my face appear worst and I have to smile artificially or struggle to smile when some fun happens. I cant control myself. Due to these problems, I lost the happiness in life. I am living with a fear about future, functions,people,... This is a great serious problem and I can t survive with this in society.What may be the reasons for this? Can I get rid of this with the help of medicines? If yes, can you suggest?

The best method is to do the same thing, which you fear, again and again. You already do that. Just try to recall occasions where you forgot your problems and became bold. You did it because there were no other solutions. that is the clue. Make sure that you have no other solutions except "doing it". You shall be alright. Ignore the negative thinking and assure yourself that you are doing right and shall one day accomplish the task.
