I have social anxiety and as for me dealing with it I try to get involved in groups with people with similar problems I have.Or you could just go out and meet 1 or 2 friends similar to you and who understand you,through them you can meet more people.

Whenever I try to hold a conversation with someone, I end up scaring them away.

I have the same problem maybe when you're in a social gathering don't say much or wait for someone to start a conversation with you.

There really isn't just one answer. The only way I've coped with it is by forcing myself to go places. After a while become a little more comfortable with the whole social scene. I still don't like going places but if I don't force myself to go out it will only get worse.

I also have selective mutism. Which is no help to my social anxiety.

I'm sure it doesn't help your situation but you have to find some way to be more comfortable in social settings. Hopefully as you become more comfortable the selective mutism will dissipate. I wish you lots of luck. I know first hand anxiety is a horrible thing to have to deal with.

I used to have it, but it's not as affective as it was, i used to have to calm myself down, i would put a small piece of lavender on my pillow open a window and just lie there,and then i would listen to music or draw, they helped me.

I don't have social anxiety, but I have really bad anxiety otherwise.
I take pills. But I switched today and it sucked.

The thought of taking pills for anything but physical pain bothers me. I suppose i'm paranoid
