Coping with Social Anxiety: More Than Just 'Getting Over It'

Are there ways to cope with social anxiety that dont include, "just get over it." I hear that a lot and I literally just can't get over it. It's really hard when I'm anxious about something and people try to help but they really just invalidate my condition.
