Is this normal or am i just WAYYY too shy ?!

I would say i am an introvert, dare i say shy. I am very quiet, most of my classmates have never heard me speak. And i do everything in my power to not socialize with anyone, including my family. I am sometimes allowed to stay at home for the day if i do all of my class work on my laptop. And i only go to the stores at night, for whatever i might need.
Is it normal to be this socially distant ? Or should i seek some kind of professional help ?
If your shyness comes as the result of trauma, then professional help would probably be a good idea. You’re very young, now’s the time to sort things out.
I wouldn't say it's normal, but it seems more and more common.

Some people do better alone. I am also someone who has no problem whatsoever have little to no contact with other people for various lengths of time.
I am always productive aline though. Always learning something new or descovering something new when im alone, that i otherwise wouldnt if i were with other people

Your reply when asked why you are shy - "i think trauma and fear of rejection and fear of embarrassment"

It appears there might be something in your past that contributes to your shyness so it would be worth speaking professional help to work through these past events.

When young I was quite shy, but when I struck out on my own, I became less so over time.

If it impairs your path, you might need assistance. If not, then just enjoy life as it unfolds.

I think the first thing you should do is ask yourself "why am I so shy?" Has anyone hurt you psychologically?

I wouldn't necessarily seek help. You need to know how you'll get through life rhough
You have to socialize eventually
