Check out this group's What Is It Like To Have Social Anxiety guide, where people with this experience share their tips and hints.
Here are a few tips...
- Way to go for reaching out! It's not easy to do when you have social anxiety! I go to telephone support groups for that: www.healsocialanxiety.com . The organization is called Social Anxiety Anonymous, they are a nonprofit (the groups are free).
- it is like you're in the world, but not of the world. It is to be different/sensitive/troubled/aware.
Whether it be a person, a job, a pet or an activity find something freeing.You are different and will struggle to love yoursel - A brilliant book to read for help is 'a new you' by Nicola Cook.
