DearWelcome to ChatDoctorWe understand your concerns went through your description. I suggest you not to worry much. I sincerely feel that you do have social anxiety or agoraphobia, which needs cognitive behavioral therapy and Gestalt therapy. Furthermore, I don't know how your therapist brushed it as it is a medical problem.  You need to find a psychologist and confirm that you have social anxiety. Visit a psychotherapist who can provide you the above therapies. You need relaxation techniques also. I can help you in all these aspects. Feel free to contact me through customer care at www.healthcaremgic.com. Good luck. Happy new year.
