sometimes it's not even about 'curing' the anxiety itself, but about learning to cope with it in a healthy way and accomplish life tasks in spite of its presence
think of it as any other sort of physiological disadvantage
a person with bad eyesight gets corrective lenses
a person missing a limb learns to manage with a prosthetic (or without)

life goes on
it can with anxiety, too
IMO physical disabilities are not quite as detrimental as mental ones.
Of course it is. Learning to cope with it, is an improvement. Achieving things despite anxiety is an improvement. There are plenty of people in this forum who have proved it is possible to improve.
I'm not sure what a "normal" life is, but I sure am living, despite the anxiety.
One mistake people make is to think that it is possible to have a life without anxiety.
Every person on this planet has some amount of anxiety, about something, for part of the time.
Having social anxiety is very difficult, but the important thing is to find small little things that you anjoy and try to string them together as much as possible.
