I hear what you say. I'm gonna venture here but surely you are the first who judge yourself severely.
You're not gonna believe me but people don't use to be so hard with others, on the contrary.
I used to avoid interacting with others for the same reasons and the worst was the part before and after the interaction because my mind questioned and rumiate about it.
It also happened during the interaction when I had lots of anxiety.
I'm getting to overcome it by following these steps:
1st: I try to have compassion towards myself.
2nd: I focus during the interaction on nothing else than the interaction itself and enjoying it.
3rd: To dismiss pre and post thinking, I practise meditation. And don't believe each thought that arrives to my mind. I see them as a product of my mind but apart them from my own self.
Hope this can give you some light.
