i also personally find it strange how some people only have had it for a few years, i have had social anxiety my entire life, since kindergarten and probably earlier..for those that have only had it since their teens or 20s, id say their chances of overcoming are much better than people like me who have had it for their entire lives..

I have also had it my entire life,it took a breakdown and a therapist to make me realise how bad I was,being anxious and panicking was normal for me because I have never felt any diff,I think in some cases it could be cured it just depends how long it's been going on and how severe it is.

Social Anxiety can be cured, but anxiety can't, because anxiety's a normal thing that everyone feels at some point. It's a matter of attitude and your ability to handle all the crap your mind tries to force feed you. Positive philosophies lead to positive attitudes, which leads to positive actions, and in turn a more positive life.

if exposure to social situations made SA go away, the mine would have went away a long time ago..in fact, i have read where exposure therapy can actually make certai types of SA folks worse..there are many variables when it comes to SA, one size or method doesnt ft all..

Maybe you can say what your exposure consisted of. You don't only have to expose yourself to your fear; to get best results you have to do it in a systematic, studied and graded manner.
