First, it is NOT normal to be as shy as you've described. Second, it sounds like you have Social Phobia, an anxiety disorder with symptoms you've described. I also have this, which is why I know. You need to make an appointment with a Cognitive psychologist who help people with this issue. If talk therapy is all you need, then that's good. If not, you may need medications like Prozac or Zoloft. Those help both Seratonin and Norepenephrine levels in the brain. It will help, and you will feel better - not perfect, but noticably better.
