I pretty much went trought the same problems as you did when I was younger. In my early teens I was shy and self effacing, I didn't want to offend anyone so I let them walk over me, because of that I was often teased and ridiculled, just because I let them do it.
Now I'm tend to be pretty popular, but I still have trouble accepting it at times, I'll realise someone like me or a woman is attracted to me, and my first reaction will probably be disbelief. It's hard to rebuild your ego once you let people convince you they are better than you.
About the voice thing, when your voice seem strange to you just clear your throat, it give you some time to regain your composure, and people just think you had a sore throat or something. It happens to everyone when they're nervous.
