Anxiety over being in social situations has been a problem for me over the years... decades really. Unfortunately I can't say as I found any particularly creative solutions to the problem. (Nowadays I'm pretty thoroughly reclusive. But that's by choice.) What I did over the years was simply to go ahead & do whatever there was that was available to do. In other words, I just gutted it out, so to speak. It was tough sometimes. But, over time, I think it did help. 
Here's a link to an article, from PC's archives, that offers socializations tips for people with social anxiety:
9 Socialization Tips for People with Social Anxiety

Thanks a lot! I read the article before and it's a good one. Gutting it out is what I did in the past but, for some reason, my social anxiety has gotten a lot worse. I've been trying to see if there are any social anxiety support groups but they're most group therapy and I don't have the funds for that.
I hope I can overcome this at some point. Thank you for responding!
