You need to learn Social Skills. These skills include 1.Confidence 2. Assertive Communication 3. Coping Social Anxiety 4. Learning to Say No.
These skills are very easy to learn. There is one rule for succes :
1. learn by practice through experience . This is the only reason you can not get anything from reading Self Help Book or Literature of Psychology or Browsing help from Internet or Listening to advices of elders. You just read, You dont practice the knowledge you gain. No Practice No Experience. You have no idea how amazing poweful it feels being confident. What you need ,A Mentoe, A Psychologist who will give you Assignments which you have to do in field.
Hire a private Mentor.
Good luck buddy

well, these are the symptoms of social anxiety. there must be some bad experiences you had when you were a child... but see that thing is passed and you are still giving yourself some negative messages that's why you have this fear of judgment or may be negative evaluation (log kya kahen gai, mere bare me pata ni kya soch rae honge etc etc). this causes you anxiety while doing something in front of other people. you can deal with this. but first what you need is, identify the negative messages which you are continuously giving yourself. that one thing one small thought is ruining your self confidence and self esteem. Here are some tips first identify the negative thoughts than replace them with positive ones. Like i can face it, i can do it... you are lot more capable and strong than this small negative thought. Facing fears is difficult but its not a impossible thing, see in this world there is nothing that a person cant do or face. first try to face those with whom you are comfortable like close friends or family members. don't be conscious of people while doing something, be focused on task that you are doing. better to consult some psychologist you will recover this quickly. and keep that in mind. Life is much more easier than you think. so start thinking differently. that's all you need.
have great life.
