Same. I'm constantly struggling against my introversion and social anxiety. I know the solution is just "getting out there," but that's the thing with social anxiety, it doesn't really follow any logic.
What I'm trying to say is: no one is minimizing your anxiety, no one is trying to say "just get over it." What we're saying, at least what I am saying, is that you're here in a community with hundreds of people who all feel the same pressures, and who still want to meet you. Just try and work up the courage to give them that chance! The worst that can happen really.. isn't all that bad. And the best that can happen is finding a friend for life!
