how do you go out to public places when you have social anxiety

i usually hesitate, and self doubt sets in....and i get really anxious about leaving my apartment...pacing up and down...today i have to go get some groceries, but my anxiety is high about leaving the comfort zone of the flat....and having to face people and deal with people again.

I get anxiety going to new places or meeting new people. I sucks cause i have to explain every single time i meet someone that i have tourettes and what my tics and outbursts are like. I think it would be easier to stay home, but as a single dad i can't do this.
