I know exactly how you feel. It's sickening, isn't it? I've found some relief, however, by merely challenging the feelings. It took a long time, but after a while it accumulates. I tell myself to look closely around and see that, in actuality, no one is looking at me, or even gives a care. Another problem I had was with personalization, like when I would walk by a crowd, and coincidentally they burst into laughter, I'd think they were laughing at me. But, using the same move, I'd see that they really weren't, and probably hadn't even seen me.

But its tough, social anxiety; I still have a quite a problem with it, though I'm getting better. I wish you luck.

P.S. for anybody-- can someone define "pdoc" for me?
