Do you or can you see a therapist?

I actually went to a psychologist twice, the first one was absolutely unnecessary.. the second was better (at that point of time I had major depression) but she ends up saying I'm complicated and i was hurt so i left. my life begins to get better now, i think. but when it comes to social interactions... well.. yeah things get rough. i'm thinking of seeing a psychiatrist though, i think i'm already at the stage of needing a medicine.
my life of the party moment usually comes when I'm excited because my anxiety doesn't cripple up when i'm in an intimidating social situation, it's a very rare moment for me but most people think I'm often more cheerful and confident. usually i avoid everyone when i'm anxious, and in pain mainly because of shame and guilt. and people who usually see me cheerful and confident would just think i'm being arrogant when i avoid them
but yeah sometimes when i'm comfortable in a social situations, i just got quiet and had no mood to talk without any trigger. i just got quiet. and tired. but i love being around them, but i'm also scared of being an outcast. it's just weird.
