CBT: CBT can help you overcome this by helping you manage anxiety and apprehension about social evaluation. It can help you develop a more positive frame of mind, and social skills, (e.g., how to initiation conversations and how to be assertive). Positive thinking and effective behavior could be role played with your therapist in practice settings until you feel comfortable trying then out on your own.
