It sounds like you might have a social anxiety disorder. You might want to try getting counseling. I have the same thing and have went to counseling, and my counselor said I needed to purposely put myself in social situations and talk to different people. Doing that has helped me, though I still get nervous around people sometimes.

I can have social problems of this nature also but you wouldnt know if if you met me. Just get over it and put it to the side a live your life.

How do you see what people are thinking? I'm sort of the same way when I'm out. I don't really talk to anyone unless I have to, and when confronted, I get really nervous and generally I can only answer with one-word answers. I usually just try to avoid people if I can, and I suggest you do the same. I've always been a quiet person, but this all started when I started spending the majority of my days on the computer. I wonder if there's a connection there. Regardless, internet friendships are better, and you can live just as much, or possibly more, of a social life on the internet as you can off.

you probably have social anxiety. I have it, you can go to the doctor and get some medicine for it, it helps a little, but i still get nervous around people.

now quit yer bragging about all your social disorders.....these losers in here would love to get out of their crummy little houses and be able to have a social disorder.

Me I get nervous reading websites other people have written...

so er... please stop.

he sees what people are thinking because he has ESP right?

well let's say u are at a buss. you don't just stare at peoples eyes then.

Amen to that xD

don't worry, people cannot really hear your heart beating. also, you don't have to make eye contact, just look right between the eyebrows. try going to a non-stress social situation, like just go to the mall and ask people the time.
