i have social anxiety for 4 years, now i am 23 years old. My symptoms are shake hand,head and voice. i can control the symptoms after 10 minites. I don't want to take drugs so i made and big step and after an interview i take a job. Tommorow i will be a seller in a computer store so i hope don't have problems with shake head and voice in front of clients. i am fighting my disorder and i want to ask if i can made it and forget social anxiety without taking drugs. (sorry for my bad english).

That reminds me... back a year ago i got a job at electronics store. And it did help me with overcoming fear with people and helped me be more confident in myself. Although i worked there for only 2 weeks (had to leave for another coz of better opportunity ).

Good luck, man

I have worked in a computer store for 5 years now serving customers, and it really does help in learning to feel relaxed around people. I didnt want to do it at first (I didnt think I could!) and the first few weeks was hard, but with the help of my collegues, im am now happy in running a whole shop on my own! (although this is stressfull!!!)

Good luck in the new job, i'm sure you will be fine mate.

hi

I worked as a door to door salesman last year..it took me tremendous will power to knock on every door..i gave myself a week..didnt get any better so I quitted. I understand how you feel 8)

I dont believe in drugs either cuz I want to tackle the root of the problem and not just the sypmtoms. Sometimes I get put off when someone tries to make friends with me, the same way I put off sales people..its this lack of trust..I want to trust people again...even a conman!
