Okay, for real, seeing a therapist about these issues could be hugely useful. Otherwise, here's some general advice:
I think you answered your own question. How do you expand the situations where you feel safe? Obviously you feel safe playing poker because you've been successful there. I'm sure you didn't start out a huge winner, but used small victories and increases in skill to build your confidence. Same in other areas of your life. Be very careful, as serious success in one area of life (and let's be honest, 100k for a 17 year old is aweseome) can really skew your expectations in other areas of life.
