    i dont think there is a specific phobia name but perhaps the following may be of some use….
    Social Phobia- Fear of being evaluated negatively in social situations
    Topophobia- Fear of certain places or situations, such as stage fright.
    Glossophobia- Fear of speaking in public or of trying to speak
    Anthropophobia- Fear of people or society

    I just think you’re a little shy. You are just a little hesitant in opening up to people. Every friend, girlfriend, business associate you come in contact with is always first “an unknown”. You’ll come out of your shell when you feel you need to.
