A member asked:

How can i have a normal dating life if i have social anxiety disorder?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety & Dating: Well, if you have social anxiety you won't have "normal" dating. If you are truly interested in overcoming your social anxiety, seek treatment. Treatment could be very effective and assist you with this desire.
