Social anxiety, how to overcome it?

First of all, therapist don't do nothing but say their opinions and get paid for it.





I have social anxiety, whenever going out, I feel so nervous, I hate going out socializing with others.





When I'm at home, I feel so relaxed, comfortable and would love to just work at home instead of working with other people.





whenever leaving my home and going to school, I feel stomach ache ... Every time, I just feel like I should just stay instead of going to school.





When my friends are going to party or wedding, I just make up excuses of doing homework Or being sick.





I'm afraid of people laughing at me, making fun of me Or just calling me crazy/retard.





I would love to have a job where I'm just relaxing at home, watching movies, eating and not dealing with people.





How to overcome this social anxiety since I can't live my life hiding from people? people hurt me most of the times and that's why I have social anxiety
