Take control of your life. Don't let SA control you. You can control your own destiny. Seek professional help. Talk to your parents. Confide in someone to point you in the right direction.

Ditto this - don't let this slide forever. You've probably been dealing with this since you can remember, but you're still relatively young. If you can get some help - DO IT (even it's going against your nature)! Just having someone to talk to about it can relieve some of the pressure you're feeling. I'm saying this b/c I feel like I threw my college years away, which is when a lot of people form life-long friendships.
In life, the only person of importance is yourself. That statement might sound pretty selfish at first....
But ultimately you've go to live with YOU. It doesn't matter if you like to be alone. That's ok. But when you are in a group, know that it doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.
Your opinion of yourself is all that matters. And I'm sure you're a great person. You're intraspective and that's a great quality to have.
Find your own fun. Don't follow the crowd if you don't enjoy their company. Life is yours. You're not a passenger - you're the driver. enjoy the ride.
