Hello,

So I think I have social anxiety and it's really affecting everything.

For one, I work as a customer service manager in a busy smash repairs shop so I'm on the front desk and meant to be friendly and bubbly (obviously).
While I am friendly and helpful and I think I'm good at my job, if the slightest thing happens (someone gets a bit irate with me on the phone, someone is listening to me on the phone/watching me, someone pays me a compliment, someone chats to me on a personal level) I get overcome with embarassment and nervousness. Physically, my body goes all hot, my face goes BRIGHT red and I shake/tremble and mentally, it's like I have a personality change and I go all weird, say weird things etc. I often end up walking away because my face is burning. People often comment on it too.

Recently however, I've started dating a (lovely) boy who works in the shop next door to us. All the people that work with him are boys and I know they have jokes with him about us and tease him in a blokey kind of way. But of course, anytime I walk past or have to physically go in the shop, I start trembling and I feel like I'm going to have a panic attack. I avoid going in there even when I get asked by my boss, and I just text my boyfriend to help me. Obviously this is really unprofessional and I'm not always going to be able to do it.

What can I do? This is ruining my life.
