I actually totally relate to your situation, I'm pretty much the same. I can be quite chatty and nosiy when I'm relaxed, but in certain social situations I get really anxious and withdraw completely. Groups and speaking in front of others are a particular problem. (Even in a group of friends) So I guess that is type of social anxiety, I assume it's like a spectrum? Although I'm afraid I can't really offer you any advice, you are not alone in this!
