  • Tough to say. Psychological disorders can be illusive and difficult to diagnose. Have you been clinically diagnosed? If so, I'd advise you not to wait and see if you grow out of it; seek therapy or, if necessary, medication. However, many people experience varying degrees of social anxiety throughout their lives, and it might be just an awkward stage you're going through, in which case you'll probably grow out of it in time. I hope my answer was helpful. Good luck!
  • Hello. Social anxiety is a rather unfortunate condition. I know this because I have it. Currently, I am being treated with medicatino with the additon of exposure thearapy, which is where you force yourself into situations that you find extremly uncomfortable with the knowlage that, if you don't, your condition will worsen. The purpose of the meidcation, in this form of treatment, is to reduce anxiety levels to a point where exposure will be tollorabable. If your social anxiety is severe, then you'll likly, if you consult a psychologist, be placed upon medications so that you may participate in expsure theapy;however, if your social anxiety isn't too severe, but obviously sill distressing, then you may just be asked to engage in the exposure activities, with the additon of cognitive exercies, which cause the 'irrational','inappropiate' thoughts, which form from your reaction to stressor, to gradualy disapear while to discredit them. With effort, you will recover.
  • There are many ways to deal with Social anxiety without drugs.
  • as said above you need either threatment of some kind or you need to fight it for yourself. Usualy theres always some bad habbits in trying to forget about it like drinking drugs games etc its like a way to have fun in a rather "dull life" <- (wich are negative words you see so i have it too.) Thats the food for the social problems to grow and always being submersive to the attacks or panic u get. If u have some food for it u need to get rid of it. Any unormal activety that u perform in ur private life. After ur rid of the food for the problem u need to get rid of two other problems at the same time. Wich is the very attack itself and trying to shield yourself from the attack. What i mean by that is like if u feel uncomfirtable you start acting like ur talking on the phone when walking past pepole or looking at the time etc just to cope with the situation without getting so much attention i mean when i walked on the sidewalk next to traffic sometimes i whould look to the right into a stonewall the whole way hehe just in fear of being stared at from the scary trafficants that used most of their attention on me and not on the road :p. So too defeat that i belive those with problems needs to find more positive ways of dealing with the hiding and then subdue the attack itself with a more confident aproach like thinking positive when u are in the situation radius of something funny or a movie or something more positive than "its getting closer its getting closer" and when dealing with the attack i think that it whould be helpfull too face the situation and keep using ur positive shields andwave to someone when ur going up to stage and smile or look the person your walking past in the eyes and ask what time it is. And tell yourself in ur mind that YOU CAN DO THIS rather than "its here its getting more intense" i belive that is a good cure. Even tho i still have problems is because i am still giving it way to much food and my problems have been extreme belive me! But luckly i just started on changing that today so wish me good luck ^^ and good luck too all of you as well you are all great pepole
  • I wouldn't call it "grow out". More like "get over". Don't allow anyone to give You any medication unless Your problem is insanely severe. . There are many ways to get out of it. Though it might take You many years. Depending on how much time and energy are You willing to spend on learning about it and making progress. . I'd say the most common reason is Your past traumas, so if You want to even start anything, You should recall all details of Your past and cope with it.
  • Of course it's possible without medication. To do so requires an attitude change.
