does everyone feel some social anxiety, i mean every person on the planet?? and maybe just us few lucky ones feel it more intensely or give it power by noticing it more than the average person???

I think every human being has a natural tendency to avoid close contact (both physical and not) with other people until some degree of reciprocal trust is established. Everybody also does worry about the judgement of others, it couldn't be otherwise since we are social animals and the opinion of others can greatly affect our lives.
The difference is in the functioning of these defensive mechanisms, which in our case are tuned for excessive sensitivity perhaps, a bit like a brake that locks the wheel the moment you touch it...
