Recovery from Social Phobia

This video contains my personal recovery tipps. Social Phobia is a severe disorder that impacts your personal and professional life.
Ater a long period of suffering (10 years) I finally found out the name of my disorder. 8 Years later, I still have some social fears, but in general the quality of life has improved significantly. My goal is to encourage other people to overcome their social fears and to give hope for recovery.

"SA is not a severe disorder. that is bullshit it just takes courage and determination to go through with things. this is the problem with the net people get together who are socially anxious and get themselves down reinforcing in their minds about how bad it is until everyone starts to think they are mentally ill. it just takes balls! "

No, it is not that easy at all. The underlying cause of my social phobia is giftedness and isolation during childhood. That's something you cannot easily dismiss. The net helps (anxious) people to connect to each other. I met many interesting net people in real life.

@ethengar11 Your partner is defineately NOT ashamed of you or your son. He has social phobia which has nothing to do with how he feels about you or your son. Social phobia is an illness that concerns him and the anxiety that people may judge and analyse him. So dont blame yourself. His illness has not even a tiny thing to do with you or your son

@ethengar11 @ethengar11 He's not ashamed of u. He's probably ashamed of his very self. Don't ask me why, I don't know either... Most of the times, social phobia's associated with a quite low self-esteem (usually for no apparent reason). If you don't love yourself then HOW ON EARTH are u going to become capable of loving somebody else, truly?? N' with that I don't mean he doesn't love his family. He does but he isn't STRONG enough to live up to your social expectations together...
