I find it very hard to communicate to certain people, like i can talk to people i believe like me but i can't to those who are 'popular'. i get a feeling where I'm thinking about things to say but nothing comes out, i have missed many opportunities because i am shy and i feel awkward around people, am i just socially awkward or is it a serious problem? do i need therapy to help with this shyness or will i grow out of it? i even feel awkward round some of may own family line (cousins,aunties etc). I'm not sure what to do about it.

I hope this doesn't sound offensive to you but have you ever had a psyche test to see if you are autistic. You could possibly have autism. I have it and it is also be hard for me to talk to people I dont know, and also my own family members as well. It wouldn't hurt to look into it.
Some people are just shy around others (I know I am). And you know what? That's okay! You shouldn't have to put yourself in uncomfortable situations to meet new people. If you feel comfortable in your own skin when your around a certain person/ people then you know that that is where your meant to be, even if they are new. If not, then don't waste your time. Best wishes :)
Take acting classes. Concentrate on vocal skills such as singing or story telling.
Story tellers:

BONUS: Vocal skill will improve your earning power more than any other detail. For instance, Jerry Clower was a fertilizer salesman, and he got a salary from McCullough to mention the brand name in his stories about chain saws.
