I think I have Social Anxiety Issues...
I've never ever ever been able to look people in the eye (but strangely enough I can look my husband dead in the eye but no-one else which is weird for me) and I can't talk over the phone. I always get my husband to speak for me (unless it's family or my Doctor) because I get extremely panicky and my heart goes crazy. I avoid people at all costs as I find it very painfully awkward to be social, it's worse with meeting new people or strangers.
Maybe I'm just making a mountain out of a molehill...

That sounds like a pretty good example of social anxiety. Maybe talk to your doctor.

That's no molehill. Like celticrose said, maybe talk to your doctor. They can refer you to someone or talk with you about ways to cope and possible medications of you need them

Ask if you have Asperger's Syndrome. I have it, and the symptoms you're describing are a perfect match.
