Social Anxiety and Confidence

I'm not entirely sure where to put this but I think this would be the most relevant forum.

Anyway, I was talking to a friend of mine last night about why he thinks I don't get much attention from girls, he said that the only problem he can think of is lack of confidence.

The problem though is that I am actually quite a confident person. I just happen to have rather severe social anxiety so I put off approaching and talking to people (even if I know somebody, especially if I like them though). I'm not afraid of them judging me or anything, I just start to feel nauseous when I think about the prospect of approaching people.

I really don't know what to do about this because girls do indeed value confidence highly and I appear to not be very confident. If people are able to get close to me then my anxiety around them can completely disappear, the problem with this is that it takes a long time for me to adjust to somebody so that this is the case.

Is there anybody else out there with this problem/has had this problem?
