How to get over social anxiety?

Asked by Sunshinegirl11 (1110points) July 2nd, 2017 from iPhone

Hello everyone. I’m a 22 year old female and I’ve had a mild form of social anxiety for as long as I can remember. (Keep in mind I have not been evaluated by a psychiatrist.)

I haven’t had a real friend besides my family for probably 7 years. I’ve hung out with other people, but not on a regular basis. I struggle making true friends.

I could go to therapy, but that’s 200 per session which I cannot afford. I also could go to a psychiatrist, but I want to try other ways before medications come into the picture.

What are some ways I can overcome social anxiety?
