Hi Chalkdust,

This won't be much help I'm afraid, but I'd like to share my thoughts.

Something I've noticed about social anxiety, at least for me, is that we can challenge it using will power but this doesn't make it any better. With some fears, if we face up to them a few times, the fear subsides a bit, but with social anxiety (at least for me) it's always the same.

My conclusion is that maybe we find our comforts in different ways in life, some of us are more suited to the quiet life.

There's no shame in that.

Cheers, Myzen.
