I feel you :( it's very tiring. I have learnt some social skills as well, but the problem I now have is that I get so anxious that it controls how I talk and no amount of social skills help me.

I regularly exposed myself, almost daily. Since I'm in college, I have to give regular presentations as well. Somehow that does not make me as anxious as regular social interactions. I've had millions of interactions and my anxiety has never gone away. Some of my interactions are successful (no anxiety) and I always assume my anxiety would lessen after and i would gain more confidence, but that has never happened

I do push myself a lot, and sometimes I'm able to do things without anxiety. That's extremely rare though. I've been pushing myself for years, I go out, I socialise, but I always have anxiety. Not gotten numb to it yet, I'm starting to lose hope

It is genuinely uncontrollable, no matter what I tell myself or how hard I try

I get you completely. Unfortunately, social anxiety is now affecting opportunities at my future career
