How do I get over anxiety?

How am i supposed to get a girlfriend when i have social anxiety?

• Hi, before i start i just want to say to you ignorant people that someone with social anxiety cant just not give a damn what people think, they cant just do something and and not care about how they look in other peoples eyes. Their minds dont allow them to think thr same way "normal" people do. Im 17 years old and ive never had a girlfriend or ever been on a date. Its not because im ugly and i know that for sure. I have social anxiety and i have already been through the unexplainable panic attacks, depression, and loneliness. Im also still a virgin and in todays society i would be called a loser if people knew this. I am desperate for a girlfriend brcause i feel that is wht is missing in my life. Sex isnt what is in my mind when there is a girl im interested in. Its the friendship or companionship i want with that special someone. It the memories and good times i want to create with her. I want someone i can just be myself with and talk to anything about and just having her as a bestfriend and te love of my life. But with this asshole people call social anxiety i feel as if i will never get a girl in my life. I dont even have female friends. Im already a senior in highschool and ive never experienced what everyone else has who is m age. Time i going by quickly and i need this anxiety to fuçk off. I am getting so bored and angry of my life right now and something needs to change. What can i do? What should i do? I need help. How do i get over this problem i have? Im begging for your advice and knowledge. I hate my life. I dont take any medication and ive never sen a thereapist. Im the only one who knows i have social anxiety. My family seems to not guve a fućk that i even have anxiety.
