First, welcome to the site.
Second, that just about perfectly describes me back when I was 17 (2 years ago). That's definitely social anxiety and not just shyness. I've actually pretty much rid myself of SA entirely over the last 2 years, so I should have an idea of how to actually go about doing that. I wish there was some magical, one-shot solution I could tell you about, but there's not. The keyword is confidence, and confidence is only gained over time. Exactly where you get that confidence is up to you.
In my case, I managed to get myself a girlfriend 2 years ago (met her on this site). We talked about our problems with each other and helped each other through our SA. Once I had her, I no longer felt the need to concern myself with what other people think of me. Thus, I had confidence to go out and do other things. Of course, it took me at least a little bit of confidence to get the girlfriend in the first place, and where I got that, I have no idea.
That's just my story, though. I'm sure some other people would have different advice.
