How do you deal with social anxiety?

Whenever I feel uncomfortable speaking to someone I am unable to continue the conversation, my mind will be completely blank and I awkwardly do not respond. It happens most at work and it is obviously affecting my at work social life and unsure if it will affect future work plans. I cannot stop thinking about the interaction afterwards, it gives me such anxiety thinking about how rude it looks from the other persons point of view. I’m already on medication for anxiety but I don’t know how to control/prevent this from happening.

Does anyone else deal with this?
Does anyone have suggestions?

I am getting so frustrated with this.
