I agree with jacko's suggestion about dealing with your social phobia. But don't be afraid of finding a good therapist to help you deal with your issues. The biggest difference between having a good friend who listens to you and having a good therapist is that the therapist can lead you in directions that will help you achieve your goals.
Fear is not a negative unless it becomes so great that it immobilizes you. If you can work through it fear can be a friend. As you learn to overcome your anxiety you will feel a growing sense of accomplishment. That will add to your self-confidence, which adds to your sense of accomplishment, which adds.... in a wonderful positive experience of personal growth.

Dame Helen Hayes, born in 1900 (d. 1993), was one of the nine people who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony Award. In my opinion, and that of many others, she was the greatest actress in the history of live theater. She began acting at the age of five and didn't stop until she was 85, doing her first movie by age 10. She had terrible asthma which the stage dust aggravated and forced her into "early" retirement in her 70s. Her last movie was in 1977 at age 77. She is quoted as saying at age 73, "The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy." In 1983, the Little Theater on West 45th Street, NYC, was re-named The Helen Hayes Theatre in her honor. The Helen Hayes Award for theater in the Washington D.C. area is named in her honor. She has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6220 Hollywood Blvd.

So why am I telling you all this about a long-dead actress? When she was doing live theater and the stage manager would knock on her dressing room door, "Miss Hayes, five minutes till curtain," she would lean over the toilet and puke her guts up from stage fright. She did that before every performance for her entire life. But she never stopped, never let her fear get the better of her desire to act, and only quit when she became to frail to work.
Don't ever stop dreaming your dream. Live it every day as long as you can. Whatever you truly put your mind to you can achieve. Chase that dream until it's a reality. Break a leg girl!
