introverted, shy, and socially anxious are not interchangeable terms. unfortunately, people get them confused during their quest of knowing themselves.
People often want to make more friends but can't because of social anxiety, and mysteriously label themselves as "introverts". But it's because I'm an introvert that I don't have anxiety. I don't want the conversation to go well, I want it to end. So what's to be anxious about?

I don’t think I would add ‘unfortunately’ in there; it’s a process we all go through and it’s fortunate that we have the opportunity to sort them out. I’ve had them all - took getting over shyness, which caused social anxiety, to realize I’m an introvert.

Be anxious because it MIGHT NOT END. People might FOLLOW YOU AROUND uttering banality.

One of the most liberating epiphanies I've had is that if someone doesn't like me, that's one less person I have to worry about.
