Untreated social phobia. It can be genetic, or early life experiences. There are good treatments, medication plus CBT.

Fears like this are specific to the individual. Being the center of attention is often difficult for many. Discussing your fears and background experiences with a counselor might give you more helpful information.
It is hard to say the reason why exactly without knowing more about you and your upbringing, but it could be due to some traumatic experience, insecurities, depression, etc. It would be good to see a therapist to start working on this issue.
