Exposure and therapy: Research shows that we should gradually face more and more of that which causes us anxiety if we want to be less anxious about it (e.g. Socializing). Also, individual and group psychotherapy can help a lot with social anxiety. Be well, .

Exposure, Gradual: Most effective therapy =systematic desensitization. Involves facing/exposing yourself 2 feared object/situation but gradually, in progressive steps- from a situation assoc w/ mild level of soc anxiety 4 u, up 2 one assoc w/ extreme level. At each step u experience fear but u "stay w/ it" until level drops/u feel relaxed. Work w/ behavioral/cognitive-behavioral specialist esp. Clinical psychologist.
