Hmm, are you …
Hmm, are you speaking in front of crowds, directly after you have excersised?
Because what I mean is spending 30 mins – 1 hour in the gym, and directly after that you will feel alot better and much less self concious for THAT day.
What happens is after you exercise you release hormones called endorphines, which elevates your mood.
The release of these hormones triggers the release of nervous energy, so feel much more at ease and relaxed.

I’m happy that works for you, but I’ve had issues speaking in front of crowds while performing quite well on my track team (and at the very least far beyond average exercise levels). So unfortunately, there won’t be the ONE cure for everyone even if sharing the same symptoms.

You know for me …
You know for me what I realized to be an instant cure for SAD? Exercise. Intensive Exercise will completely cure your mind of any of these upsetting thoughts.
You will feel much less self conscious and much more able to concentrate and other people and less on your self.
Just a 30 min run on the treadmill will do it. It only lasts for the remained of that day so when you wake up the next day it will still be there but not as bad. Aim to exercise 2-3 times a week it will really help.

Like 5 years ago I started to have some of these synthoms and the doctor recomended me some pills that would keep me like zombie, dizzy, ect. I talked to a friend about the problem and told me to try it with Marijuana, so I did use Marijuana like for a month and the synthoms started to disapear for some reason, right now I have a lot of social contact again without any problems. Smoking Marijuana worked for me I dunno if it might work for others.

I’ve pushed alot of people away from me. I’m always in my room to myself and when someone comes in my space I get annoyied by them being thier, at the same time I want them to keep me company. Being alone makes me feel safe, my doc told me to practice being out going but I have no idea how, I’ve spent most of my life alone and I’m not good at speaking up loud enough to be heard.

the problem with …
the problem with social phobia is it never goes away just by facing your fears and go to social situations unlike shyness.I suffer from social phobia for 10 yrs now and I’m still very nervous every time i go outside the house, buy something i want, meeting other people and many other things people do everyday and that feeling never goes away no matter how many times i do it. its really hard coping with social phobia.
