Mental health social anxiety

Hi,

I've struggled with my mental health this past year, and I overcome my social anxiety. However being so shy, I have come incredibly far, but I still way for improvement I know that my shyness doesn't define me but going into new jobs... It scared me. Does anyone have any advise, I'm an introvert I find new places, putting myself out there sort uncomfortable I do know I can do it but I guess I'm asking for any advise from others maybe who struggled with similar?
