There is some good advice from other people in this thread, but different things work for different people. Here is what helped me through similar feelings I’ve had. 1- Stop drinking and eating things with high acidity. Take over the counter antacids. For me, my stomach would do loops like crazy she I had anxiety. I’d feel like I was going to hurl, like I was on a rollercoaster, always falling. Sometimes treating these physical symptoms let me focus on what I needed to, because the physical symptoms could become overwhelming. 2- Compliment strangers. Walking past someone at the mall and just saying “that’s a cool shirt” or anything else, as just a quick compliment with no conversation involved. I never had anyone react poorly to a random compliment, and it helped over time. It helped show me that initiating contact with people didn’t have the negative consequences that my anxiety was telling me would happen. I’d say a compliment, they would usually say thanks, and that was it. At first it was terrifying just to do that. But after awhile it felt just normal, and it was nice to start compiling evidence for myself that my anxiety was wrong about people. From there it became easier to actually interact with people. It wasn’t over night, it took a while of doing this. 3- Take care of yourself. Be really good with hygiene. You don’t have to spend a ton on products and clothes, just be clean and don’t smell bad. Let your own style come through as an expression of who you are, as opposed to trying to blend in or look cool according to what it feels everyone else likes. This can show other people a bit of who you are as a person without having to approach them, and you may start getting people approaching you that are drawn to your style, which can lead to interpersonal interaction that doesn’t put pressure on you. 4- In situations where you feel social pressure to participate, ask people how they feel about things. Let them do a lot of the talking. Asking opinions, what their motivations are, and things like that really opens them up to be able to talk more so you can listen more and not feel pressured to do a lot of talking. In groups, if one person talks about a subject and shares their opinion, you can say something like “that’s an interesting perspective” and then ask a different person “what do you think about that?” (Obviously use a phrasing that’s more natural, this is just a framed work), and you’ve included yourself but aren’t pressured as much to do all the talking yourself. 5- Try not to ruminate too much. It’s hard sometimes if we feel negatively about ourselves. We can constantly as why. . . And when an answer pops up, we ask why that’s the answer, and why that’s the answer to that, etc. It can be a never ending cycle of asking why, or ruminating on why we are the way we are and why we can’t change. Instead, try to catch yourself if you get stuck on that rumination. Usually there will be a point where when you ask why, it reflects something you do or don’t do. When you identify actions, it’s time to stop ruminating and try to act. All of this is way easier said than done, so I wish you the best. I’m on my phone so I’m not sure all of this is formatted well or very clear so feel free to DM me if you have specific questions or need clarification on anything I wrote.

Its really a mindset you gotta put yourself in, and just try to be kind and respectful. If the other person is a decent person, they'll give back what they get. Personally, I found most of my help from Jesus, and I would recommend it a lot because its gracious, and loves you no matter what. Flaws and all

First off, talk to your parents about it. Don't worry about dating until you're older, there's more to life. Dungeons & Dragons helped me a bit. I still shiver like I'm in a blizzard in social situations sometimes, but I've gotten better at actually speaking and stuffs. That's all I got, sorry.

I had the same issue man, here's how I fixed it. This is mainly for being comfortable with public speaking and talking with people you barely know, or people at a social advent that you want to get to know, but could work with confidence with talking to pretty much anyone. 1. Start practicing your speeches in a mirror, record a video, and see that you aren't doing that bad. If you are doing bad change what you need to change. Stop using filler words like "Um" and "Uh", using words like "like" and "literally" as filler words too. It helps boost your confidence on speaking. Stop using slang, endless you come from an area that heavily uses slang like the south. That will also boost your confidence in speaking. 2. Actively try to be funny. Even if it's a seep or school presentation. Hearing people laugh or even chuckle at a joke will help give you confidence. Animate your speech patterns and body language while you present. That means walking around, moving your arms around, and making more facial features. Start over emphasizing your voice, get excited, act like your enjoying presetting. Do all of those but make sure you're not doing them too much that it distracts from the actual speech. 3. Work on your own self-confidence. How I started doing that is getting more active. Start working out, even if you don't lift weights you can still get a solid body. If you're a skinny dude or a fat dude get healthy and try your best to look the best you can, even if that means not eating as much junk. If you're having self confidence issues make the choice to become better at what you're lacking in, or make the choice to improve on what you're lacking. 4. Blah Blah Blah, go out of your comfort zone. No I don't mean approaching random people on the street, say or ask for things you normally wouldn't. Say you want 50 bucks, ask your mom or dad if you can have 50 bucks. Worse thing that's gonna happen is they'll say no, you're parents won't think less of you if you ask. Eventually you'll be confident with your parents, graduate yourself to siblings, then aunts and uncles, grandmas and grandpas, close friends, ect. You'll get confident asking and saying things to people. 5. Pick up a good hobby that's productive that you can brag about to the average person. For example I'm a writer, I could brag about my largest manuscript, or how I got something published, ect. I also play guitar, I can brag about the new song I just wrote, or the new solo I can play. Even if you aren't bragging or even talking about that hobby you will have the confidence that those things bring you. 6. Learn to fight, and carry something that makes you feel secure. I don't mean purposely get into fights, learn self defense, personally I took Jiu-Jitsu for a couple of years. Being able to beat a guy who was bigger, stronger, and or more experienced than is a confidence boost you'll never get anywhere else. Just knowing that if a guy tries to fight you, you'll have a small leg up really help. For carrying something, me personally I carry a pocket knife around with me. Mainly because it just makes me feel more secure and safer. I know you can't bring weapons to a school ground, but try and find something like that. It might help it helps me. 7. Get a style of clothing and dress well. Wear good clothing, doesn't even have to be name brand or new, just develop a sense of style. Me personally, I love how I look in red, black, and blue, I have clothes that accommodate that. 8. Last one. Talk to people more often. Doesn't have to be with strangers or people you barely know, anyone. Master talking skills and small talk, know what to say and when to say it. I'd even recommend learning how to read body language so you know when someone is comfortable, uncomfortable, and things of the sort. Always remember that people love talking about themselves, most of the time, use that to your advantage. Have any questions just ask. I'll be happy to help. Social anxiety isn't fun.
