the way i've chipped away at mine is by doing the things im scared of, and being in the anxiety provoking situations, but startingatthe easier ones, not starting at the really hard ones. and by exposing myself to them, and not reacting, just waiting for the feeling to pass (because it will!) many times, i get used to the situation and no longer get anxious. and then i can move on to a scenario thats a bit more difficult.... this method is called Exposure/Response Prevention, if you want to look it up
