I couldn't ignore this thread cause it hits close to home with me. I'm very much like the way you descibed...or atleast I was my whole life up until the past couple of years.
Go and talk to a psychiatrist. He will tell you that you are suffering from S.A.D. and that it can be fixed with medication. They'll offer you paxil or remeron or something similar, it will help but it wont cure it. They may even try to put you in group therapy. Nothing will cure it except you. I know from expierence.
The best thing to do is to put yourself in those situations that scare you and face them head on - there is no other way. Just put yourself in public situations and say fuck it and deal with it. It can be a very hard thing to do, but very rewarding.
