So I'm an attractive, fit, 18 year old guy who can do...ok with women. I'm not terrible but I'm not anything to write home about. Anyway my biggest problem is that I'm super self-conscious all the time, it takes me way too long to get comfortable around people (and I only do with very few people). I'm coming to the realization that it's because I care way too much about what others opinions are of me. I basically shut down when there's a large amount of people and get seriously stuck in my head. Itll be thoughts that would contribute nothing to any type of conversation because it's all about how I think I'm coming off, what should I do with my hands, I haven't said anything this whole conversation, shit like that.

Basically how do I stop being so damn self conscious in any situation and let loose a little. Are there any habits I can form or things to practice that would help me out with this?
