How to stop my panic attack when I face a social situation?

It has been almost 2 years that I have had social anxiety. I was not like this before but since I move out to Germany for my master studies.I figured out I started feeling fearful around people especially in public places.For example I always prefer to sit in the aisle and not in the middle of the rows in lecture rooms(especially if I was going to sit next to a good-looking student, that would be a nightmare).Or I get panic attack in doctors waiting rooms.

At work, if I am going to meet my boss or new person,I will get panic attack.I really want to get over this fear, cause it stops my life in so many ways.

Try concentrating on the other persons feelings rather than your own. You would be surprised how much this helps stop the panic.
