You sound a lot like me. I'm not as extreme as you though.
For me I'm afraid that they won't like it and tell me that I'm a shitty artist or they will like it and praise me which makes me uncomfortable. Or maybe if I'm drawing a nude figure they'll think there something wrong with it(especially if they are not an artist themselves.) My work is so close to me that criticizing it feels almost the same as someone criticizing me personally. However you will never get anywhere with your work if you're not willing to share it with other people. Knowing how much passion and personal experience you must put into your work doesn't it seem like a shame to think that you will never share that with other people?
I am so scared of people seeing my art/writing
