It is introversion. There is a certain social anxiety that comes with it. A large part of the population has introversion and thinks there is something wrong because extroversion is celebrated in our society.
There is not necessarily something wrong.
You could practice being around small groups to get comfortable with the uncomfortable feeling. Doing this enough may have it go away.
Also as suggested practice a positive self talk to offset the constant negative self talk. (It is just as likely that something good will happen as something bad)
So "I won't win" becomes "I will win" and "They won't like me" becomes "They will like me"
Is this social anxiety or something else?

Exact opposites work best.
