i know what you're talking about. ALL of my friends are like that, but personally i am not.you just need to get over it and GO by yourself. its not a big deal so just do it. that's the only way you can get over it, is to force yourself. and after a while you wont feel uncomfortable and you'll notice other people shopping alone.
and no offense about the "everyone watching me" bit, but dont flatter yourself. people have better ways to use up their time.
i'm not trying to be a bitch but the only way you can do this is to force yourself, you cant look for sympathy and someone to hold your head.
so, like nike says: just do it.

go shopping with one of your friends maybe. If they wont go then just go alone. Lots of pople go shopping alone, if they are staring at you then they are the ones with problems. Just ignore them

I understand exactly what you're talking about. I feel the same way sometimes.
If you feel uncomfortable, you can invite a friend to go with you. This way, you're not shopping by yourself, and you learn to block out the other people, by just concentrating on your friend, and what you guys are talking about.
Eventually, you might start feeling comfortable enough to go shopping by yoursekf, by just blocking everything else out. Don't worry about the other people, even if it feels like their staring, they're probably not. For all you know, they're thinking everyone is staring at them too.
Besides, unless they're people who go to your school, when are you ever really going to see them again?
Hope this helped.
And don't worry about shopping with your mom, I know I still do sometimes, and alot of people probably still do as well.

hmm...this one is a toughy, but i'll give it a try. Instead of shopping with your mom, go shopping with a friend. If you dont have a friend, just go alone and when you feel uncomfortable and everyones staring at you, just ignore them and just get on with your life. Its no big deal if everyone is staring at you. Just dont look back at them and just go shopping.
I hope I helped!
