Is it possible to have social anxiety yet be involved in many activities?

social anxiety
Sheila B asked:

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?
