It's called Agoraphobia...the fear of leaving your home because of the anxiety it creates. Many times it is caused by social anxiety disorder....the fear of what people think of you.
See your doctor. There are medications and therapy that can help you.
Good luck.
If you have anxiety about what others think of you or you feel like you are being judged, just remember that A. you can't read anyone's mind so you have no way of knowing what they think, B. you can't change their thoughts either, so ultimately it is not something you have control over in any way, C. most people are feeling the same self-conscious feelings about themselves and D. these days people are so absorbed in their little bubble of cell phones and iPods they aren't paying any attention to other people anyway.
Im self concious too but it doesnt keep me in. Try focusing on the great things about you
