Yes, one could argue that it leads to higher focus and skill development in activities that demand that attention. In this argument, social anxiety becomes a side effect of high focus and not an intrinsic characteristic of the individual. Try building something or drawing something with acute detail, you will be zoned out. When you come back to daily things, the social world would have moved on. This could make one feel that anxiety. So in a way it does have a benefit.
