I'm one that has social anxiety as well. I hardly ever go out or talk to people. Though I am getting better. You're 17, there's time to get better. I know it might sound awkward at first, but see if there's anywhere around you that offers like group therapy or therapy in general. I found if I learn to talk to a therapist, which can help people in my case, and I"m not as nervous around people, it'd be better.
Another interesting technique I've tried, which is hit and miss but it does help, at people could misinterpret it as rude, or that you do have an issue with you anxiety. Try to not talk to the person directly, if there's another person in the room with you that you feel more comfortable around, talk to them and convey what you have to say.
