Does anyone who feels awkward or anxious in social situations overcompensate and try to prove to themselves or others that they don’t have a problem by being involved in numerous activities, groups, and events?

For example, I know a guy who seems to have social anxiety, yet he is a president of a club, a brother in a fraternity, a member of an activity group, and a bunch of other things. This surprises me since I would think someone with this problem would avoid all social situations. What do you guys think?

23 yrs old male. Lately I’ve been experiencing anxiety and or panic. I’ll get symptoms like needing to urinate / defecate, headache, lightheadedness or dizziness, bad thoughts, nausea, sweating or feeling cold. I currently don’t hold a job or go to school. My sleeping pattern is not the best. And I don’t have a significant other right now. Also I’m still living at home with parents and a younger sibling. There’s a lot of stress at home. I don’t have the best relationship with my mother and my father and I get along well for the most part but even that’s not the greatest relationship. My sister worries me naturally as an older brother. I’m aspiring in the creative fashion industry as a freelance artist at the time. I’ve heard these could be things contributing to this. What is some advice or good habits to get into?
Also a general feeling of uneasiness accompanies symptoms. A few of my friends have said the same thing about themself.
One other thing. I find myself on the computer a lot. Because I dedicate time to maintain a website.
