I'm confused.

I can't tell if I am just extremely shy or have some form of social anxiety disorder. Here is something I posted in yahoo answers to better explain my situation "The reasons I am questioning it is because I tend to get really uncomfortable in any social situation. Like at school I will make sure to find a route with little people on it. I'm always worrying about being judged, saying something stupid, or doing something that embarrasses me. I'm always judging myself. I stress over small things such as going to the store, driving to KFC, going to the mailbox, walking across a cafeteria, Staying in my lane on the highway, etc. I'm worried about what other drivers are thinking of me while I am driving. My phone was dying one time and I couldn't even bring myself to ask for a charger. For some reason I was scared of what was going to be said. Sometimes my heart beats fast and my stomach feels weird. My vision gets blurry and I feel really weird, I don't feel like myself. I had to leave a room full of people because of the blurry vision/weird feeling. Fresh air helped some. I don't know if that has anything to do with it though. I tend to overthink the smallest things. I'm scared of speeches and talking in front of a lot of people. When people talk to me I tend to not be able to think of anything to say. I don't ever really give my opinion on anything, I seem to be scared of the response I might get. Being rejected is a fear of mine. I don't even like telling close family/friends much of anything about me or how I feel. I only truly feel comfortable when I'm by myself.

Seems that way. Don't worry too much about it, just work on those things so you can be a normal, functioning member of society. Don't lock yourself up in your room and become too avoidant of things, because exposure is the key to improvement. If you avoid exposure more than you allow yourself to be exposed to those fears, you're feeding the wrong part of you, and your comfort zone will soon become the real discomfort zone (as opposed to the anxiety you feel in certain situations).

HI! =)

Sounds like you are in the right place. I am shy as well.
We share a lot in common, like over thinking everything and finding it hard to talk to others or asking for something we might be in need of.

It is okay for sometimes when your heart beats fast and your stomach feels weird.When it happens just stop what your doing and take a few deep breaths in and out. If you can just sit down and take a moment to find out what exacty the reason for making you feel that way and how you can over come it.

A lot of the stuff that makes you freak out like the talking in front of others and the fear of being judge is very common and most people suffer from them. If you take baby steps every day to help it you will be fine in no time. Try just saying hi to every person you see. Some might say hi and some might not. It will all be okay in the end and nothing bad will really happen to you.

I know its hard but you can do it! I hope this post has helped you just a little!
