This remains my Achilles' heel, the social phobia I've never made any progress on tho it's the one I've spent the most time on. For me, it's when I'm talking one-on-one with someone I truly admire.

Oddly, I can now address them in groups--present papers or even lead spontaneous discussions when they are present, and I'm fine.

I've worked with therapists on this & approached it from every angle I can think of on my owe. I've tried just treating the symptoms with meditation, yoga breath, you name it.

So, Venus, I'll send you all my best energy, thoughts, & wishes regarding this & hope you discover your solution. It just might lead me to mine.
