I used to have really bad social anxiety, Then I started working out and eating healthier, and that helped a bit, because I felt like I was doing the right thing, and I wasn't ashamed of how badly I was taking care of myslef anymore. Then I got a job at a deli, which required me to talk to people I didn't know 4-8 hours a day It was unbeleivable horrible for a while, but I got used to it, and crowds donn't bother me at all anymore, dealing with people in a "work" setting doesn't either, that person at the dmv/movie theater/restoraunt is just doing there job, so its not as dificult to interact with them. I still have a lot of trouble just striking up conversations with people I don't know, in a purely social context, but even that isn't anywhere nearly as bad as it used to be.
In short: Work on improving youself to build confidence, put yourself in a situation where you Have to deal with lots of new people everyday so you get used to it. And most of all learn to stop thinking about things all the time, it will just make you nervouse, since there isn't anyway to predict what people will do.
