My problem is... everything scare me! I am still terrified of social situations. My heart jumps everytime the phone rings or the doorbell rings. One on one i'm ok... but groups of people I still stand there lost.
Does this happen to anyone else? Anyone know any strategies to get past this and put it behind me?

Hi! Give yourself credit for being to interact one on one. Sometimes that's the hardest to get by.
I struggle with a little bit of both. Whay I've found in dealing with groups is to pick one person and make eye contact. Once you make eye contact things start to happen. It gets easier to participate in whatever conversation is going on.
Sometimes I'll get enough courage and walk right up to a person in the group and introduce myself. That gets the ball going.
I'm very shy. I'm still working on myself. I know you can do it.
