Before everyone gets mad, hear me out on this one.
Yes, I'm saying there is no 100% cure to SA and shyness (btw, i think those things are pretty much the same thing, shyness/SA) if you have what they call bad shyness (an example of someone who has bad shyness is me, someone who hasn't had close friends for 6 years or so and pretty much never has a g/f), your shyness will never go away.
But, there are things you can do to get a social life, a successful social life. Those type of things are discussed on here, as in joining social clubs such as softball leagues, kickball, basketball leagues, etc. There are other things too, heck if you are lucky you can even be approached if put yourself out there, or there are people on here that approach other people and get friends that way.
I think people like me need to accept that we'll never be perfect and just try to enjoy what we can out of life and not worry about trying to "fix ourselves." A lot of people mention fixing themselves, and I don't like that term because you can never 100% fix yourself.
I think "improve" is a better term. "Taking action instead of hiding" is another good statement. Sorry if I sound stingy and technical right now.
Feel free to give me your thoughts on this.
