Being around lots of people, or even small groups used to cripple me in most cases. Going shopping for groceries, or walking through the mall would give me tunnel vision, a rapid heart beat, and sweats.
Then one day I had my ipod and headphones with me when I went to the store, I put the earphones in and listened to some calm music. It was like being a whole new world (not a Disney movie reference). I started to do this every time I went into public places with lots of people.
Then I noticed that just having my ipod and headphones in my pocket or back pack and not even using them, was enough reassurance to get me through being around crowds. Now I don't need them, i'm still get a little nervous at times around people, but not nearly as bad.
Give it a try, I hope it help!
