I used to be agoraphobic and fixed this. It takes a lot of time and stepping out of your comfort zone. Talking to colleagues is relatively easy because most of the time they stay professionals and there are easy social norms you can pick up on, like’Good morning,’How was your weekend ‘, etc.while you’re learning the norms in your office you may make a couple of mistakes but these will likely make people like you more, as the mistakes will make you more relateable. For wider society what I did was join a board game society. This was especially ideal as most people that go to boardgame clubs are already relatively awkward and will act as good practice boards. The key thing is though that it will be hard and you will have to push through your anxiety. I've had times when I've been sat at a table with friends and started panicking, in those instances try not to retreat, instead just calm yourself with box breathing and rejoin the social situation when you can. I don’t think anyone has ever noticed me do this
