I'm 28 years old and there's no possible way I can ever get "better" because the source of my problems is my personality and extreme shyness that I have had since I was conscious. I think I only realised the extent of it recently. Realising that males like me are actually quite rare.
Even most people on this board likely seem like extroverts irl compared to me. I couldn't even deal with going to university because I could barely utter a single sentence in class.
I can even drink almost a whole bottle of scotch and still be shy. It's truly a curse that dictates my entire life.

Exposure therapy. You have to throw yourself out into the danger.

I heard shy guys do better. There's assertive women. Gaijin hunters

Tried it. Doesn't work. I just fail a thousand times over if not get worse because with each failure I become more ostracised and self aware

The good news is: it's fixable user. The bad news: you'll first have to give up your defeatest attitude and embrace the suffering until you make it.

and yet here you are
if it does not get better why are you posting this?
why you still need attention or sympathy?
haven't you got everything figured out already?
so why your actions don't match your words?

You have a immense potential OP. And I'm not talking in a "uwu it's all going to be better sense", that's bullshit. In a psychology sense, the bigger the anxiety the higher the potential when beating it.
If you can solve this problem, it'll give you an experience that only a few people can get.
On a side note: Your anxiety affects your ability to retain information and learn? Just asking

how is it fixable? Studies have shown that introversion and extroversion are basically a fixed metric. Sure I could possibly emulate a normal person occasionally which I have done but the only reward is extreme exhaustion. You can't change your inherent nature through practice. That's like saying I could turn into a fish if I just went swimming 8 hours a day

Introversion isn't shyness, dumbass. I'm a heavy introvert but I power through interactions because I'm not a bitch. Learn to be dominant.

I have some social anxiety but it is not entirely a social anxiety thing. I only developed anxiety after repeated rejection and bullying for my natural personality. Even when I remove all anxiety I am still extremely shy. Socialisation does not remotely come naturally to me. When I see other people having a conversation it's like a completely alien experience. No amount of practice or learning "social skills" helps with this
