hi i have only just recently discovered that this social phobia actually exists! Until now i have lived my live believing myself to just being incredibly shy, despite the fact that i often do things that are completley irrational (like being scared to answer the phone) and i just considered that to be normal for some reason. I realise now that i have a problem that needs to be addressed but i am not sure how to go about taking the first steps!

You wouldn't believe how common this is. The thing is Social Phobia usually isn't diagnosed until it seriously affects your life so if you cope with ti no-one notices. My life would have been much easier if I had realised I was not alone.
