Hi hpz24,
I'm a little older than you so I'm not sure I'm the best one to respond. It takes a little bit of time for people to respond here. So don't get frustrated if you don't hear back right away.
I also have social anxiety. But I found that once I stopped drinking, I was becoming more confident or at least able to function somewhat normally. I discovered that the alcohol was actually making me more of a social introvert, even though you would think the opposite. When I was drunk I was outgoing (obnoxiously and sloppily) but the next day I just wanted to stay in bed and not face the world.
Give sobriety some time and you will start seeing things in a different way.
