How I stopped being socially anxious

To this day, I genuinely believe that I had chronic anxiety and would never be able to surpass this "illness". I honestly believed that no one had worse social anxiety than me and hated when people would tell me that there was nothing wrong with me because there was at the time. But as I got older, I legit didn't want to deal with that crap anymore. I did not want to be socially anxious all the time so I did something that changed how I viewed social anxiety.
