I would say try new things. Talk to people in a group... even if you are fearful. Just to see how you react. If you get tongue tied, think it through and try to speak clearly. Start doing things with people, invite a couple of friends over for a party or a get together and see how you react then. If you're comfortable with that then you could go out and chat with people then.
I use to be the same way. I was scared of talking people, especially if there was more than one. But I figured that if I just stayed silent then no one would really know who I am. I would just be a person on the outside looking in. I tried new things and I grew. And the same will happen to you.
Slowly push your boundaries and see where that leads. If something new feels totally uncomfortable then stop and just push yourself to the point of almost crossing the line... then just keep going back to that line until you're comfortable with it. From there you'll do well.
