Is this social anxiety?

[Pelin]

In most areas of my life, I am a self confident person. I'm a teacher, and I have no problems speaking to an audience or stage fright. I am married and have close friends and although I'm not overly social, I'm usually okay with face to face interactions.

However, there are some social situations I feel anxious and don't know how to fix.

1. I get worried when I need to make a phone call, let's say to a hospital or restaurant to make a booking. If I have to change it, it becomes worse.
2. I sometimes feel the same when I need to answer the phone, too, esp if the person is not in my close circle.
3. I have trouble texting or saying someone to do me a favour. I'm afraid they will judge me and I will waste their time. 
4. When I need to deal or negotiate with someone, I usually refrain and let them win. 
5. I have had a personal blog for two years and I'm only talking about it openly and sharing it for the last year. Before that, I had a blog for 5 years that nearly nobody knew about. I was ashamed of the things I wrote there, and was afraid some of my friends would take what I wrote personally. Even after a year of telling my friends about my blog, I'm not motivated to promote my posts on social media. 

I somehow understand the reason behind all of this is fear of judgment. But what is the root cause and how can I fix it? Any advice, book suggestions, Leo videos that I might have missed, greatly appreciated.
