I just got added to a social anxiety group a short while ago.
The therapist leading the sessions expressed that she doesn't find it "strange", given my history as a trans-man and a bullying victim in school followed by chronic pain and fatigue which creates a bit of social isolation on it's own, that I've developed a bit of social anxiety.
I didn't go through the list you linked (cause I'm in a bloody hurry at the moment) but I'm sure lots of 'em match up as the overwhelming majority of social anxiety symptoms fit me to a T.

If I wake up feeling anxious, I walk on the treadmill for 20 minutes and it usually goes away.

I always just find stopping and experiencing the moment, becoming aware of the moment helps the stress

I take xanax prn. I'm not anxious most of the time. But when I am, I shake and feel emotionally powerless. Xanax when anxious or before seeing someone who make me crazy helps a lot.

most of us have anxiety because our minds and bodies run on sympathetic mode i.e. fight or flight. A new study found that this may be the primary cause of our illness. Our brains are stuck in this mode and it effects serotonin dopamine and norepinephrine levels over time. That is why anxiety and depression are so common among fibromites
