Is this feeling normal?

I'm a quiet person and always have been. I've been coming here a while, and I always wrote posts about social events that worry me hoping for all your support !
And most comments say 'you have anxiety'
Well I'm at 23 and I'm always worrying and tense and so many things and I've tried to stop myself but I can't.
I'm sick of not being able to connect with people or talk. A friend invites me out in a group of friends and I'm just say quiet worrying I'm being judged. I go out by myself to the shop or the gym and want to get out as quick as I can or can't make eye contact with anyone.

People think I'm ignorant but I'm not sometimes I can be absolutely fine, I have a friend or two I'm comfortable around, family I am too. I act like I'm fine when I'm not.
I'm constantly worrying about finding someone, I don't view myself as much, and I don't know how anyone can like me. That guy that tried to talk to me? Yeh I act weird or don't talk because I'm scared, I act like I'm not interested when I might be.

I'm worried I won't find anyone or have kids in the future when it's all I want, I wonder how things will ever work out for me. I'm jealous of the people I went to school with, they all have kids and some are married.

Someone asks me out to a social event? I can go sometimes but I'm constantly worrying beforehand and before I go I'm thinking 'I can't wait to be back home'

But like I said sometimes I'm fine... so maybe the doctor will say there's nothing wrong with me, and/ or I don't need help?

Any ideas?

    Pretty sure you posted almost the same yesterday and I offered friendship. You never responded in kind. I know I seem like a dick on here but even a negative response would be sufficient progress for you to make.

    When someone reaches out an you ignore them, then, well there is only so much others can do. At this point you may as well see the doctor and no, they won't think you are normal, they will view you as an easy paycheck, give you anxiety meds, probably benzos, and get you hooked to keep you coming back.

    Welcome to the psych ward.

    You probably just prefer small groups and like familiar things. This is normal for some people.

    Practice makes perfect. If you want to change then talk to people. You will be uncomfortable. But keep practicing and you will be more comfortable around people. It's the only way.
