Does social anxiety ever go away on its own? I used to be really shy as a kid, then I kind of started 'developing' terrible anxiety ever since I attended high school. Some people say it goes away after you hit your twenties, I am 18 now and I'd like to stay away from meds.

I'm also 18 and my anxiety comes and goes, it seems to have mellowed after a few years. Best of luck

I drank, and made friends while doing so. It seemed to help, but seemed to come back when I sobered up.
A little bit of pot here and there seemed to have helped.
Seems to have abated since I got into a long term relationship with someone I can be myself around

No, im 32 now and still feel kinda shy, but a bit less.
Anxiety vanished as soon as i learned psychology and received understanding and a bit of control over people. Maybe you should try it too.

28 here, it's only been getting worse since 16. Sorry bro, you might have better luck.
Yea mate, it'll calm down but things like meditation, eating healthy and working out really help.
