you weren't born with social anxiety, the reason why you have it even though you haven't had any traumatic experiences is because you probably also have never had any positive or learning experiences either.
Most children start out with social anxiety (it's just the primal form of your brain being cautious against meeting new humans outside the family) it's just that they get over it in their early infancy through exposure.
If you grew up being a sheltered loner child and just didn't interact much with other children you probably just never learned that social interactions weren't actually that dangerous. The best way to overcome social anxiety is just to force yourself to have social interactions/experiences over and over again no matter how much it hurts or even if it goes horribly.
Eventually you get to a point where leaving a social interaction feels like when you survive a roller coaster ride and the more you do it the more used to it you become (even if some of those interactions are really negative e.g. people thinking you're weird or whatever)
The ultimate trick to socializing and getting through life is literally just brute forcing it until it starts working.
