“Just get over it”

I have severe social anxiety and my grandmother and my sister and I are all planning my baby shower we made a Facebook invite thing and the 3 of us host it meaning we can change updates about the shower or invite people. My sister seems to understand that I only want close friends and close family that I talk to there but my grandma just went on there and invited people that I haven’t seen in years some since I was like 4 or 5 and family that I’ve never really talked to like my 3rd cousins and their boyfriends or girlfriends... When I told her that I’m uncomfortable having to talk to that many people she told me that I’m being a drama queen and I need to get over it because “the more people the more presents” it’s not even about presents for me and I at least want it to be enjoyable and not stressful all together... I’m just dreading the shower now because I’m going to have to open presents from people that I don’t really know that well and talk to people that I’ve never really met... I wish it was easy as “just getting over it” but it’s a mental illness and it’s hard...
