Another trick: At a party or in a new social situation, try to find someone who looks even more shy and confused than you do. Make it your goal to draw this person out of their shell. This takes the pressure off you, and, in the process, you get to have a conversation.
(I don't have social phobia, but I am an INFP (Myers Briggs) and these tricks help me. I am good interacting with one of two other people, but throw in more, and I feel overwhelmed.
