This is a very common anxiety. Try some short term therapy with someone that specializes in treating anxiety disorders. If you think listening to music helps then do it. Also, go to social gatherings with someone that you trust and expose yourself a little at a time to the crowds. Join a group like Toastmasters where people have to get up in front of groups and make toasts. Really though use what works for you. Try therapy, it couldn't hurt and know that again many, many people have social anxiety.Good Luck!!! :0)

Music in general will give you a whole new mindset. Go for a walk. Breath the fresh air. If you wanna listen to some music...throw in some Enigma. =)

try and go to a small groups meeting through a church or something. the presure of being accepted will be lower because everyone there is there for the same reason. i dont think the music you listen to will have an impact on how you feel when you leave the house.

If you think it will help you, I would do it. I have the same problem...try bringing people in to listen to the music with you . Smaller groups at first.
Good luck Hon!

Well mindset is everything once you start changing it and using little rituals to do it it will snowball.

you should try heavy metal and Trip-hop this kind of music lets you express your anxieties in a very primal way, at least it helped me.

Listening to music ALONE will probably not help you as much as getting OUT and mingling with other people. :)
But I guess it can't hurt. ;)

Sounds good, but also go talk to a psychologist
