I have this too, and it really sucks. My shyness is so bad that it's prevented me from getting jobs, going to school, and just living a normal life. I've done therapy, and taken more anxiety meds than I count (at least ten, I think), and while I'm better than I used to be, there's still a lot of things I can't do.
I would recommend getting professional help if it's interfering with your life this much. I've found that meds do very little to help since they mostly address physical symptoms, instead of making you feel better mentally.
Is it normal to still be shy at 19?
