To be honest, I used to have the same problem SH80... I just sort of grew out of it. It was like waking up one day and being like "What the hell was I thinking?"
I think some form of social anxiety exists for everyone (obviously some more than others).
Its all in how you deal with it. You can either let it control you, or, everytime you start to feel anxiety, you can immediately force yourself to say "hi" to a stranger, or strike up a conversation with some "random". That's what I used to do, now I have no problem with talking to strangers, or even in front of groups of people. Give it a shot...

Faced with the Divine, I was asked; "What one gift do you seek?"
I answered ever so meekly; "I seek Honor, Truth, Integrity, and Wisdom, yet those are four. How am I to choose?"
The answer came as a pounding whisper; "The four you seek are but one. I grant thee Compassion; for without it the four make none."
