How should I defeat my social blockage?

I have a horrible social blockage. I have alot of trouble communicating with people on the phone, or in person. I have been trying everything possible to work through this problem, but I find it very difficult to. As I try harder to give myself that positive “self-talk”, it just seems to worsen as I become older. I have seen a psychologist about this small glitch, but it didn’t seem to help.

 When I am around new people, it takes me over a year to carry any sort of coversation with them. I always feel left out of conversations in groups of people, or even two at that. I can never conversate with new people and this is really making it hard for me to build any kind of new relationships with anyone.
