Question

is there a cure?

Answer 1

Here are some great links about Social Anxiety Disorder, which is often times referred to as "Social Phobia":

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Exposure Therapy have been known to be effective in helping those with Social Anxiety Disorder. http://www.socialanxietyinstitute.org/ccbtherapy.html
http://psychologytoday.com/conditions/socphob.html
Additionally, there are a variety of medications that Psychiatrists use to treat Social Anxiety Disorder. Sometimes, it's trial and error when it comes to medication, so there isn't just one miracle drug that I want to say is a "cure."

Answer 3

It's a fear but not a phobia because phobia is worse than fear. You feel uncomfortable around and/or being with large group of people; you avoid parties,gatherings,disco, and event. There is a cure but not through medications but therapy and counseling, its called systemic desensitization (I hope I'm correct), wherein they help you face your fear and/or anxiety through a course of time and various activities until such time you overcome it
