I've had similiar thoughts and feelings. I have always been real shy, I have no idea what to say to people and even when I do, i'm quiet because I am afraid of saying something stupid.

Have you tried cognitive therapy? It has proven to be quite helpful. Right now you have all these negative affirmations. You have paranoid thoughts that people do not like you or are talking behind your back, when in reality that is probably not true. You have to replace these constant negative thoughts with positive ones until the positive thughts finally become habit.
