    As tabber says and feeling uncomfortable with other people around feeling self- conscious which can lead to agoraphobia which there is treatment for counselling etc. A lot of depressed people suffer from agoraphobia. There are herbal treatments from Edward Bach to combat negative feelings not sure if this includes agoraphobia - just reminded me I must check this out. 

    victor960 thanks for the question.  victor960 social anxiety is when you do not feel comfortable in a particular social situation.  You may feel uncomfortable if you are at a party, or at a baseball game, or if you feel a girl is looking at you.  It could be any situation where you are there, and others are there, and you feel uncomfortable.  However, you can overcome it by being with a good friend, or trying counseling or going out with a family member you like and feel comfortable with.
