I try to stay in my own head. I often find myself trying to guess what everyone else is thinking.
I am better if I focus on the interaction rathe than the inner workings of others minds

The first step is knowing yourself and accepting yourself. Then try talking to your friends about it. The more you talk, the better you would feel. Then when you feel comfortable enough to socialize with a few people, then see if its eased up?
Or you could even use therapy, which can be really helpful :)

There are many reasons why people get nervous in front of people, and they are different for everyone, so it would be better to figure out what it is that you are afraid of exactly and what it is that's making you nervous. One of the ways of trying to deal with it is easing your way in and facing your fears but starting with a very minimal exposure at first. So if you're afraid of meeting new people, practice in front of the mirror, got to a shop and say hello to the shop assistant, take your friend with you to a meeting with someone new and have them there as a safety blanket.

Becoming comfortable with yourself first will allow you to become comfortable around others and practice will help, like with anything the more you practice a skill the easier it becomes.

By learning not to be nervous. Practice being in front of people with manageable "baby steps". Preferably in a situation where you have the possibility of backing out, but still where you put a little bit of pressure on yourself.

It is normal to feel nervous in front of people, and it takes time to feel comfortable staying with people with practice. I would recommended doing volunteer work and get in touch with people in the community. Of course you might need to consider seeking professional help when the nervousness is too severe that you feel panic when you're with people.

It is not always about stopping yourself from feeling certain emotions, however it seems like it could be benefitial maybe if there was more control over this emotion and you felt as though you were able to control the nerves. For example, staying calm doing breathing exersizes if you feel a little scared around them, You could maybe try and stay with a friend if you were having to go with being you weren't as comfortable with. I hope this helps a little bit!

The best thing to do is to count up to ten, slowly, pacing your self. Everyone will love the personality you have, just give people a chance to see it. When you count to 10, you give yourself time to relax and to calm down.
