Ya you have it, I do too. Got catscans mri's all that before getting into a shrink. It's more common then you think, no one is superhuman and you need to build a support system to help you out on the matter.
Good luck.

maybe start small, do you feel you want to go to a group that encourages you like acting class or group therapy. sometimes overcoming your fear is facing your fear, and it seems like if you are not thinking about it you are fine.

Yea man,i found out I had it last year..missed all of my sophomore year of highschool cuz of it. It sux but the best thing to do is go to a psychiatrist and get some meds and a therapist. Im currently taking Lexapro and Respirdal(sp?). But that sounds about how I felt.

sounds like a major anxiety disorder to me, you will probably develop o.c.d. in the next few years

I think you have it. I have it, but have worked to not be so anxious. Panic attacks are panicking brought about by having thoughts that you will freak out. Not any kind of phobia. People can have both I guess. Don't run to the drugs first. Try training yourself to overcome the anxiety where there's a lot of people.

Yeah I used to have it really bad. I'd get really bad butterflies and wanna throw up all the time. I still get it but less so. (stil bad) People say its in your head and that's partly correct. Just remember u got as much right to be here as anyone else. As for the being famous thing, yeah I feel like that too but fame ain't always a good thing. Bruce willis said in some interview that its like a light switch. Once you turn it on you can't turn it off. People go fucking crazy when they're famous sometimes.

Fear is a path to the darkside. Fear leads to anger, anger leads to hate, hate... leads to suffering.

Social anxiety? yes. Panic Attacks? No. Panic Attacks are a condition and you should not get them confused with getting nervous. Nerves can get the best of you and not be a panic attack. Therefore, don't listen to people that want to tell you they are panic attacks and don't have a doctor prescribe you anything without "proper diagnosis" first. A lot of physicians will throw drugs at you that are dangerous and then not even care to follow up with you. Try doing yoga, meditating, or exercising. There are relaxation cds that you can listen to to help you meditate. When you meditate, keep a positive idea in your mind and imagine yourself without a name - you are just a body perceiving yourself and your surroundings. You will find that everything that is attached to your name will just disappear and it is very relaxing.
