Trust me, you are not the only one that has had these feelings. I have been throught the same exact thing. It's all part of maturing, and trying to figure out who you are, especially in social situations. You may not be a very social person, and I don't find anything wrong with that because I am not very social either. I just recently had my 23 b-day, and I am still not a social butterfly. Not all people are ment to be. I still worry about saying dumb things to my friends, or looking stupid in general but not very often. But I realized that people talk to me because they like who I am. They *don't* think that what I am saying is dumb or weird, and I shouldn't worry so much about what I say. I think you are in the same situation. Realize that people *like you for who you are* and that you are a great person to be around, you're just a little confused right now. Don't be so hard on yourself!
Do you have a job, or any thing you can do in a social setting? I found that the best way to get over all of the feelings that you are having is when I got a job in retail. In retail you *have* to talk to people, you *have* to be confident and believe in yourself. It took lots of time and a couple of jobs, but I am finally confident enough to walk up to *anybody* and carry on a conversation without feeling silly or worring about what the other person is thinking about me.
It all takes time and some sef-confidence. You'll make it.
