Is it normal to be so awkward and insecure?

Is it normal to for me to be so shy and insecure? I am an 18 year old guy,and I exercise very often and have been told many upon many times how wonderful my body is, but even given this knowledge, I can barely even work up the ability to smile and say hi to a girl. I am highly intelligent as well, and hhave been told countless times by others' that is something they wish they had endowed in them, that and my drive to be successful. But it all stems from this intense insecurity.
So is it normal, and will it correct itself over time?

    It starts with you when you have decided you don't want to be insecure any more that is when you will save the children and get the girl.

    I'm the chick version of you, my success has come out of making myself talk to others, talk to a hot girl even if you don't want to.

    Try just being yourself.
    I guarantee that no girl will try to knock you out just for saying "Hi".
