I know how you feel because i also suffer from social anxiety.There are two ways of treating this.First see a psychologist to try relaxation techniques.If this does not work try to see a psychiatrist.There are some very good medications to treat this condition which do not accumulate in the body.Also if you have to stop taking them for any reason you will not get severe withdrawal symptoms.Hoping this will help.

Its funny. I used to be REALLY shy and I used to lick my lips all the time as a nervous habit. People made fun of me in my class when I started at a new school in 6th grade. They had gone with eachother forever. It was a catholic school. I read an article that explains how to be assertive and expressive and I realized people don't care what you are really saying. If you are assertive and not awkward, people will think you are great! No one dwells on what you say and no one will remember if you make a small mistake.

There are two ways to try and conquer this nervousness.
The first is a speech therapist, who will work on many aspects of voice, sounds, tone, and exercising your lips.
This is one to one therapy, until you can initiate conversation.
Secondly, group therapy at an intense level a few times a week.
Keep yourself in the social mix, rather than feeling embarrassed.

My opinion is that you need to force yourself to practice more. Try more interactions that are formal, like talking to store clerks and things like that.
I was so shy that teachers thought I was mentally retarded. I was so uncomfortable that I forced myself into theater and speech and debate clubs. Now I'm really good at public speaking and interacting with others, but I still am really nervous. I just hide it really well. Regular practice is the ticket! It's a phobia, you need to desensitize yourself.
Good luck!
