I use to be you, but my elder sister helped me, she will always say that eye contact is the best means of overcoming this, learn how to maintain eye contact, always say to yourself that human eyes can never kill me, say it to yourself as you maintain eye contact, soon you will be fine.

I think masturbation is the cause, i experienced this back in the days.. The feeling is crazy you walking the street and having the thought that everybody is looking at only you.

Sociophobia...there has to be an underlying cause. Were u abused physically or emotionally as a child? Were u restricted indoors mos times? were ur parents/guardians paranoid about the world? (evil ppl,witches,poison vendors etc)?

U need psychoanalysis psychotherapy and u need to be more focused on real goals and motivations like money making.. These will help bolster your confidence and make u forget to some extent, people's perceived scrutiny Towards you..
No,I wasn't abused physically or emotionally. No o,my parents never restricted me. My parents are none of d above listed. They interact freely.My dad is an academician.

Thanks alot

Hang out a lot, even if alone at first. Drink a few beers. Hook up your dream girls (they are closet runs girls, you would see them if you hang out a lot and know what's up). F.u.ck a lot. I repeat, fuu.ck a lot. The experience of demystifying your dream spec does wonders for your Psyche

You would see things, experience things, learn things. Your body go come down.

Social anxiety is a product of isolation and exclusion. If you defeat isolation and exclusion, then say bye to social anxiety. Soji yourself by following the instruction in my first paragraph. And thank me later.
hahahha@ first paragraph... I don't drink runzz...I am married oo.Thanks a lot for your kind suggestions

It is not a problem, that's just who you are...
**Modified
You need to accept, embrace yourself for who you are. Has it occur to you that there are people who wants to be of your type, just like you are wishing to switch side.
For me, going to see a professional in this case is just like trying to submit yourself for a new phobia test...
Why am i telling you this, i am like you with little difference.
ok,yes there are.

Thank you.

TimiRume:
Make videos of yourself before leaving the house and watch them immediately. Do not leave the house until you make a video. This would strengthen your confidence muscles. Concentrate on your positive gestures, your words while seeing the video, and don't pick too much faults.

And Or,

Change your walking or sitting posture. Walk with outstretched legs and your head upright.If you overburden your legs while walking, or sit wrongly it would not send enough energy to your brain. The body function can be distorted by any little change we make. Think about what you started doing to your physical body 6years ago and stop it.
thanks, that's a great physical education tutorials

OP, I was EXACTLY like you a few years ago...I mean to a T. I still hate going out, but I am better now. First of all, if you masturbate, stop it...or at least reduce it drastically. If possible, have constant sex...lots of sex (ofcos with the same person). Then focus on something, one thing...till you become an expert in it. It could be anything...animals, writing, politics, power of the mind...anything. Just be so good at it that people have to come to you whenever they want to know about it. This will boost your self esteem. Start with this...You will get better.
OK,thanks alot

U're not alone bro. I have same issue too. See a clinical psychologist
Or get self-help books with ERP therapy techniques. Google Search and download e-books/pdfs study and apply them. But seeing a professional could be the best remedy.
thanks alot

Believe it or not, nothing is wrong with you, as most people share the same anxiety. This is mostly because you're too afraid to screw up and may be a little bit of lack of self confidence (this is normal).
My advise is for you is to simply identify exactly why you feel this way, or what is causing you to feel this way and attack the issue....You can do this by facing the demon one on one.
Go out of your way to maintain eye contacts when communicating with anyone (you can start this process by communicating with your siblings, then your friends and then your boss at work.
Also go out of your way to be in the crowd and feel free and happy.

No need to waste your time and money on seeing any clinical psychologist...as Psychologist sef has his or her own demons. You are the only one that can attack this demon and claim the victory.

Good luck!
Thanks alot
