Am I introverted or just really shy?

I don't really have any really close friends, but I want them. I don't really do much with people, but I want to. I've had 5 or 6 girlfriends. I'm 16. At school in most classes I'm really quiet, but in some when I'm with people I'm comfortable with, I'm outgoing. I get nervous doing things in front of people, meaning like public speaking. It's weird though. Like, my body is nervous, but my mind is as calm as ever. I don't get rattled, but my body does. I just can't think of things to say to people in public, so it's really awkward. When I'm on the computer, texting, that kinda stuff, it comes easy. I'm very outgoing on those. How can I take it to the real world?

Update:

deep...i suggest you look at a dictionary. here you go.

    I'm a 15 year old girl with the same problem. I think you just have to get comfortable with people in "the real world" and thats all we have to do. Easier said than done, I know.
