hi. i understand how you feel im only 17 but ive been like that my entire life.im very quiet around other people if i don't know them or if there are too many. the prevous comment is very relative to you. i have to take myself out of high anxiety situations like arguements or even disagreements because i can't speek and become unbearably nervous.
your best idea is probably to not push yourself to hard but to try normalise yourself with people you see alot.wether that is just trying to start a conversation about something you know, you may find that you'll be less nervous.
i hope you find something that helps you.

There is a condition called selective mutism that was recently discussed on another MedHelp forum, which sounds somewhat related to what you are describing.  You might look it up and see if there is any similarity.  The treatment recommended involved gradual desensitization, talking in situations in which you are comfortable and introducing one new person at a time so you could slowly get used to talking to more people.  I would speak with a therapist about it and perhaps see if such an approach would be useful to you.
