Answer 1

1. Sorry about the previous person's answer.

2. Social anxiety/phobia can not just be gotten over. There is no known cure for it. There are medictions that can control it so that you will not have panic attacks while with people.

3. Social Phobia is deep seated and just simple mental or verbal suggestions won't eliminate it.

4. Do not feel alone. Millions of people suffer from it.

5. Go to your physician and explain your situation and symptoms, and request help so that you can assimilate out into society and function at the capacity that you would like.

Good luck and warm regards.
