Extreme Social Anxiety

Hey I’m kinda new to this. Ummm I’m not good with people or in situations where I’m in groups. It’s kinda hard to explain but it’s like a get really uncomfortable and my mind goes blank. I could have scripted out what I want to say but it would just vanish. After that I start shaking really bad and feeling isolated and alone. I then start thinking that everyone can see what’s going on. Now I start to get extremely embarrassed and start crying. My reaction generally changes based on the amount of people. For example, if I’m in a group of 5 I’ll most likely just sit and silence and be shaking a little bit but if there’s a large group of people I’ll be in tears. I don’t know what to do and it affects my life in pretty significantly.
