Its such a chore its not that bad but its not nice either and it stops you living as much as you could
 
Join a social group involving something you already really like, and magic will happen. While I didn't get anxiety, I've always been a bit averse to social settings (still am really), but once I join a co-ed soccer group and started being around the same people consistently, I started opening up more in general. For people like (presumably) you and I, this whole socialising thing is about reps, just like honing any skill.
 
Live in the woods off the land.

Nah seriously, if you really want to be social, then you're going to have to face your anxiety head on. Just take little steps and put yourself out there a bit more each week or month. Also, don't feel strange because you have social anxiety—there's a shit load of people dealing with it.
 
How many of these threads have you made now?
 
Cocaine, Redbulls, and coffee.
 
I would recommend meditation, lowering caffeine, maybe a therapist might help. Take bjj. Sometimes if you got it real good it might not ever go away but you can learn to recognize it and be in control of it till its nothing but a minor inconvenience.
 
Learn BJJ, the man to man action will rid of your anxiety real quick
 
Understand that people are nothing, sheep, full of shit. Male and Female. Even the most "successful" looking ones.

Changed my life.

have confidence in who you are, and don't allow the opinions of others to affect you. that should get you on the right track.

it's not the healthiest thing in the world, but i recommend going to bars to get past social anxiety. it is a GREAT place to accustom yourself to the different types of people there are, and to feel comfortable around people you don't know.
 
Talk about it with people. Not online people, tho.

If it's really the shit that's on your mind? You have to talk about it? Might as well talk to someone face-to-face. Sporadically you'll find people who will engage in such a conversation, and see how that all makes you feel.
 
Purposefully make a stupid sound and Enjoy doing it. Comparatively, the next thing you say will be much smarter and easier to understand. You wing man yourself, via enthusiasm and charming weird noises. Think John Wang, HNNNNNGGGGGGGGGG. Dominant.

Take that further: understand that you are also nothing, a piece of shit, and then you won't worry so much about impressing people and being liked.
 
Learn not to beat yourself up for it and recognize that you're not trying to feel the anxiety- it's just a condition you have, and it's probably going to be your unwanted friend all your life. You can tone down the effects by trying all kinds of suggestions people give. They're all good suggestions, some work at times and some don't.
