I used to be a total social outcast.
Only a few short years ago, I spent so much time inside that in a year I accumulated over 2000 hours playing the popular MMORPG Guild Wars (over 6 hours on average a day!). I used to have no friends, I was THE definition of a skinny loser nerd but now that's changed.
I don't look the same, I don't feel the same as well and now my life is 1000x better. I've got a great group of close friends that I've known for many years, I've had many girlfriends and my social confidence is now so high that I often just walk up to meet people on the streets!
I'm not saying telling you all of this to brag, I'm telling you because I have found the solution to your problem.
The thing is, society doesn't really care about you. It's a harsh truth, but lend me your ear for the moment. It's far too expensive to pay for the treatment that will give you the deep, core internal change you need over simply giving you some prescription meds and hoping for the best. And I'm sure you all already know in your heart of hearts that prescription medication is not a long-term solution - it's like a bandaid over a bullet wound, there is no core internal change but instead surface-level removal of symptoms. Plus there's the side effects of loss of libido, liver damage, etc.
My method for real internal change comes from my background as an experienced ABA therapist, a bottom-up approach where changing behaviour is emphasised and leads to belief change. Compared to cognitive therapy belief modification, behaviour is extremely easy to change - just look at how the huge world of marketing can trick you into buying but then regret your purchase later. Having an empowering experience is far more useful than reciting affirmations all day and the quickest way to change beliefs is through testing them.
The journey I've gone through in my personal and professional life has taught me so much and I want to help people on their journey into the social world.
This message is for those out there who have tried to solve the problem by themselves to no avail and want to get over whatever is holding them back in a judgement-free zone.
If anyone feels that they've been let down by the alternative forms of treatment and wants to finally fix their social anxiety, add me on Skype (AaronSollesse) and we can talk about simple, practical steps to improve your condition.
With you in wellness,
Aaron
