Many people who become therapists did so because they were first looking for help with their own problems, and as they found help, became interested in using the same skills to help others. If you are not dealing at all with your problem, then the answer would be no. but if you are conscious of the problem and are working on it in a somewhat effective way, - also if you are capable of separating yourself from your personal problems when dealing with others, then the answer would be yes.

Not really. Social Anxiety Disorder is debilitating. How can you help people when you yourself have such a prominent personality disorder? Plus, when you go through a counseling program, this is going to come out as an issue and could be a barrier to you completing the program. Get your own issues under control before you try to advise someone else! A counselor or therapist should be a role model & well-adjusted.

sure. by the time you go through all the schooling you need that issue should be addressed or you can seek out help and that should solve your problem
