I think most people have some degree of social anxiety.
I used to be super shy around people I didn't know, but at the end of my freshman year of high school I realized that I had only a few friends in my entire school. I then made a conscious effort to be more friendly and outgoing, and even though most people thought I was kinda wierd all throughout my sophpomore year, I was a lot better by my junior and senior years. I pretty much realized that I'm only going to go through this once, so I might as well try to get as many friends as I can in the time I have.
Now that I've ben through two years of college, I just don't give a fuck and I act however I want. I still get kinda nervous when I go to a party where I don't know anyone, but once I get a few drinks in me I have the courage to put myself out there.
