I've heard about it before, and have looked it up and i pretty much relate to it, but idk if someone can classify themselves as it. Do you need a doctor to diagnose you with it or can you just know by reading about it by relating to it?
I think I have it because;
When im around a group of people, no matter who they are, even if they are friends, i can't talk, i never know what to say, or what people would think of me if i said something.
i constantly think people are watchin me and judging me. Even if i just want to go across the street to get a soda from the store, or if i just take out the trash i look to see if there are people out there, and if they are, i wait a while debating if i should go yet. It;s hard for me to talk to people, even tho i want to so bad, something just makes me feel weird about it. I never feel comfortable around anyone. maybe just like 3 or 4 people. and thats it. im afraid of meeting new people. I tend to try to put off plans because i worry what people will think of me or because i know i wont talk if i meet someone new. i dont like to do anything in front of people, its like im not myself, but i cant help it, i want to be so bad, but i just cant make myself get over my fear.
would you say this is social anxiety? or something else. i dont want to go to a doctor to find out. and i dont want to ask my dad to take me because he might not think there is a such thing or might think im weird.

You should probably seek the opinion of a psychologist.

yeah, this sounds a lot like social anxiety... Many people have it. My best friend has it. Going to a doctor probably won't change a thing. Unless you really want to make sure, than there isn't a huge point. A lot of times it's something you have to deal with yourself, and coach yourself to cope with. A doctor's visit won't change things much. Just because they tell you whether or not you have it, doesn't always mean they'll fix it for you. If it was depression, then I'd say go. I knew I had depression before I went, but I wanted my parents to hear the official diagnosis, plus, the therapy and drugs helped me to get better. In your case though, I don't know if there is a whole lot to do for treatment. Therapy would help, but often times the things they suggest are things that you would do anyway, or things that other people, like us, could help you with.
