in all honestly, you probably don't have social anxiety at all. you most likely just have generalized anxiety triggered by social events. source? i was exactly like you. dead on actually.
first, you have to tell yourself that you don't have social anxiety. you are giving yourself a title and expecting to live as someone who has it. no matter how hard it is, don't give up. tell yourself that everyday.
second, don't pity yourself or let others pity you. it enables you to continue on with your issues. don't let the amount of friends you have bother you, they will come and go. chances are the people with a lot of friends have a majority that are fake friends. keep the true ones in your life.
finally, once you have deeply thought about these things, go on with your life. don't even LET the thought cross your mind about what people think about you. start doing hobbies, and friends will follow. join a club at your school or go to a book club; do anything to get yourself to interact with people you have a mutual interest in. once you expose yourself to people for a while, the anxiety will go away.
i'm pretty forgetin weird in all honesty. i like to make bad puns and do stupid stuff for laughs. people like others who can be themselves and are confident about who they are. be who you want to be, not what you think society wants you to be. i'm pretty popular among people now. i went from social outcast to a beam of energy in people's lives.
