How can I be more open to people?

I'm 15, and I've always had a terrible case of Social Anxiety.This makes it hard for me to talk to people, even though I want to, and whenever I try it's always awkward.Even now during summer all I do is play video games, work out, and eat. It's very lonely, so I want to change that.

    I struggle with this too. For me my social anxiety is part of a whole range of trauma issues I have from bullying so am in therapy. I don't know whether you might consider seeing a therapist too?

    I have social anxiety too, I find it easy to be around people if I'm with somebody I really trust, I am always with my best friend (that I have known since nursery, I'm now 15) and she helps me ALOT! By introducing me to new people, although its still really hard to talk to them it's easier to be around new people when she's there (only one or two tho)
