How do you overcome social phobia?

Answer 1

How do you conquer socil phobia?

Exposure therapy.

Force yourself into social situations , this means that you will have to face your fears full on.

You will go into overdrive you will start panicking, your mouth will turn dry hands clammy you will struggle to breathe and relentless paranoia that people are staring\mocking\focusing on you will attack you all at once.

But then,this storm will recede,and you will regain your breath and start to calm down,kind of like after an adrenaline rush.

Keep forcing yourself into social situations again and again,eventually you will see how irrational your fear is,and episodes like the one described above will become less intense,and then stop happening altogether. You will start seeing that there is no real threat,and thus you will overcome this "Social Phobia".
I would also like to add that you should start off SMALL,just little things,and then move on to the bigger ones.
And you could ask someone to accompany you first - but you MUST NOT LET YOURSELF BECOME ATTACHED! You will have to retain your independence to complete this challenge.

Also what helps is to take stoic or logical approaches to situations like these.

Only use medication as the utmost LAST option.
Social Phobia can be a result of some other mental illness,which sometimes are caused by a chemical imbalance in the brain. If you think this is the case go to a Doctor,but ask if you can be treated with therapies first instead of jumping for medication,trust me.

Also:
This is not to be taken as professional advice i am no doctor,and this is not a professional opinion!You should go see a doctor for some real help.
