Do what I did just a few hours ago. - Try to follow, what I call, your spirit guide. Think of your spirit guide as a voice in your head that tells you what to do in order to be your ideal self. Your ideal you. Don't put on an act; that can't work (and what's the point? If someone likes or loves a you that you're pretending to be, they don't really like or love the you that you truly are, therefore they don't like or love you.) Really try to tune in to that one voice. What is it telling you to do? REALLY THINK ABOUT YOUR IDEAL SELF and keep it ALWAYS IN MIND. Don't listen to voices that belittle you or give you some false bull about what you can't do. Don't be fooled by voices that misguide you, away from your true ideal. Once you have done all this, stop thinking; just give yourself over to your spirit guide. It will be as if you don't have to make decisions, you don't have to think. Overthinking is the problem for people like us. All you have to do is trust, obey, and stay in touch with, your guide. In this way you can sort of relieve yourself of some of the responsibility and pressure of having to make all the decisions. - I've been trying for weeks to speak up to a certain person. I did it today. I was really fighting my urge to cut and run, feeling afraid of feeling like a fool, or worse, acting like a fool, feeling afraid of rejection, feeling mad at myself, ashamed of my lack of guts. I came within 2 steps of getting on the bus and missing another opportunity, but I turned around, because I knew that the brooding misery I was suffering was worse than the embarrasment I would suffer if I followed my heart and got it bruised. I knew that even if it turned out mortifyingly horrible I would feel proud that I overcame my fear and it would be a step in the right direction toward having power over my fear and becoming more like my ideal self. As it turns out, I was afraid for no good reason (as is so often the case). We had a nice conversation, and I am feeling quite good.

what exactly do you mean by social phobia? are you afraid of the people? mixing and iteracting with them? if you are not much of a socilly interactive person, no problem, but you should not be unreasonably scared to talk to them, or deal with them. i think you have encountered some traumatic experience in your childhood, or did'n' get a proper orientation from your parents on how to adjust in the society. you will have to seek help of a psychiatrist who will analyse the hidden causes of you fear, and with medication and therapy, your cofidence will be raised, so you could progress towards normalcy. this is a must, do not delay.

i am going through exactly the same challenge.i have had sessions with a psychologist and learn't that the best way to overcome(social phobia) is by facing your fear head-on.i know it seems daunting,but you just have to bite the bullet and vow not to allow social phobia to interefere or limit your life. it would be advisable for you(i 'm doing the same) to slowly and gradually expose yourself(build up) to the situations that you fear .even when situations feel uncomfortable just try to force yourself.

small steps--simply apply small steps--you've already stepped out into one of the largest public based forums in the world---right here in Yahoo Answers--pretty significant stuff for someone who thinks they've got a problem---now this isn't so bad---each day--just a little more into the mix--don't force it but don't let yourself back down either--a little more around people --just a little more to say to them---in no time --JAKA*****TAN will be surrounded by friends and having a ball-----

I used to have that. I solved it by changing my clothes and hair I got compliments, gained self esteem and was mostly cleared of it.
