Stressed by social anxiety

Question

I've always had social anxiety and I'm tired of it not letting me live a happy life. I can't share my views at work, make friends, or even approach the people I find attractive. Every night I think about my social failures and it causes me so much stress that I can't sleep at night. I want to change myself but I don't know how to.

You don't need to change yourself completely to have a happy life. All you need to do is gather some courage and make an effort to communicate with others. It might feel difficult but practice will make you perfect, so subject yourself to situations where you might be forced to speak up. I'm sure you'll get over your fears.

I suffer from social anxiety too and although I've learnt how to speak up at work, I find it better to meet friends and partners in quiet and calm situations. So instead of hoping you meet people at gatherings that make you uncomfortable, join clubs where you could meet people with common interests.
