well if you're just an everyday introvert, then you need some promting, or else to summon the courage on your own to overcome your aversion to social situations. (digression, but the internet is a big help for this nowadays. you can watch youtube videos that walks you through how to ride the bus or whatever, for people too scared of embarrassing themslves to try).

On the other hand if you have a social anxiety you probably need some kind of stronger help to be able to function.

Either way the alternative of avoiding much of the world and relying on oehters to get by probably isn't preferable.
