How do you get over social anxiety?

Believe it or not many actors suffered from social anxiety, joined an acting group (even in college) and for some reason did extremely well. Taking Public Speaking Courses helps (I did because I use to be so shy, but have no problem speaking in public now.) Joining different groups you may be interested in even if it's sports of some sort to volunteering. Start out by taking small steps and volunteer somewhere or take up a sport that is more pleasurable and doesn't add to your anxiety and then when you have conquered that you can take Public Speaking if you wish. Good luck Marcy

What is Bambakomallophobia?

Most phobias respond to graded exposure & cognitive behaviour therapy - there's no reason to think that fear of cotton wool would be any different. I guess all you have to weigh up is whether the current impact on your quality of life is worth spending half-a-dozen sessions with a psychologist/other registered mental health professional. Neither graded exposure or CBT are rocket science, but if you think bambakomallophobia is worth tackling you'd be well advised to track down somebody who knows a fair bit about specific anxiety disorders. Good luck!
