You'll find a correlation between physical workouts and overcoming anxiety. If you don't like going to the gym, try walking or dancing or swimming regularly for an hour or so 4 or 5 times a week.
You could also do some research into diet and herbs. Maybe you eat too much sugar or get too much caffeine or something like that. You could also try herbs like St John's Wort. Or go to the bookstore and find a good self-help book about anxiety. Ultimately I think it has a lot to do with your self-image and our tendency to compare ourselves with others and peg everybody as better than or below us. For the quickest sure-fire solution, lift weights for about 2 months and you'll feel much calmer around people. Just don't start kicking sand in weaklings' eyes.

I suggest that you put yourself out there and actively join the fray with the knowledge that you will be initially clumsy and inept for a period of time.
Take those missteps as learning experiences and as small steps toward social competence.
