Advice on how to overcome social phobia w/o meds? minor cp causes tensing/stiffness when feel i'm being 'watched.' can't get comfy with it. what to do?

Try to reach beyond: Your comfort zone. Set some simple goals, i.e., to smile and say something at a social gathering to one new person. Practice before hand some possible things to say. Join a social group that does some activity you like, ie, hiking or volleyball. Meet with a therapist to develop some goals and practice. Good luck ; let us know how it goes.

See dr./therapist: A psychiatrist and or therapist can help you. Let them know you would like to try and treat your issues without medications. Certain therapy such as behavioral modification, relaxation techniques, yoga, etc. To name a few, can help greatly. Best wishes.
