It may be a chemical imbalance in your head. If you do end up going for pills, don’t take the "only when you need them kind" (Xanax, Valium, Adivan, etc). They can be addictive and usually have the bad side effects.

I had pretty much the same problem and it got worse when I got depressed (I don’t know if they went hand in hand or what). I ended up getting on an SSRI (Zoloft) and seeing a psychologist about my depression. I took the Zoloft for a year and got off it when I felt like "me" again. I wasn’t depressed anymore and I felt good about myself. Allot of the social anxiety has gone away too.

Go see your doctor about it, he will refer you to a psychologist and talk it over with both of them.
