IF you want to overcome SA- It's easy just do what I did (maybe not everything, because some of the things I did were extreme.)
Everything written here is true. If you don't believe me - too bad.
I managed to overcome my SA on my own without medication/therapy. First let me give you some background info about me. My SA started at around the age of 11-12. From there until the age of 20 I only had few, most of the time zero friends. I was made fun of at school because I was so quiet, I had zero self-esteem and confidence. I spent most of my time behind a computer playing online games.
One month ago I decided it was time to end my pathetic life. I was sick and tired of my life. But right before I managed to cut my wrists I thought to myself If I'm going to die tonight I might as well try and have some fun before I die. So I decided to go out and flirt/smile with the first girl I see and ask her out on a date, and then if I fail to do this I will come back home and kill myself. I went outside and It didn't take me long before I saw a girl near a bus station. I said '**** it', took a deep breath, walked up to her and asked her out. She smiled at me and said: "I'm already seeing someone". I said "OK.." and walked away with a big smile on my face, I thought to myself this was actually easy. I felt great and when I got back home I decided I will give myself one month to get rid of my SA.
My plan was to basicly FORCE myself to do whatever it takes. And it worked. First thing I did was quit my job so I had all the time I need.
In order to get over my phone phobia I spent an entire day calling random numbers (making prank calls) and just talk about random things like pretending to be salesman/ long lost friend/boyfriend/ whatever seemed funny to me...I must have spoken to over 300 people that day. By the end of the day I was exhausted but also had zero anxiety when talking to someone over the phone and I ended up having some very interesting conversations lol.
Over the next few days I spent most of my time in public making a complete fool out of me in order to get over 'my fear of what others think of me'. First three days were hard than it became easy and turned into addiction.
Anyway, here are some of the things I did: I would laugh at random people on the street, scream in public, sing songs out loud, walk up to some random person and asked them questions like "so how are the wife and kids?", wore pajama in public, pretended I speak some weird language and asked for directions in the street, pretended I was homeless person and begged for money, I went to random houses knocked on the door and pretended to be a salesman, drove in car by a street where a lot of peple hang out such as bars and clubs and just yell out random things. I gave high fives to random people and asked them where they're going and if I can tag along. I tried to exchange random objects with strangers like phones or watches. By the end of the first week my anxiety was gone and I became really good at this.
Hmm, what else? I pretended to be disabled, I walked around with crutches and then suddenly fall on the floor in front of somebody (to my surprise most people are actually nice and will run to help you). I bought a fake beard, some creppy glasses and pretended to be a serial killer/rapist - I would stare at people with a weird look on my face and follow them around (dumb, I know but it was hilarious to see their reactions). I pretended to be dead - I would go to a crowded place and lie down and be completely still until someone called for help/asked me if I was ok. I pretended to be mentally retarded and would made a dumb*ss expression on my face and slutter when talking to someone - it was ****ing hilarious how people treated me.
I pretended to be a drug dealer and would ask random people on the street if they wanted to buy drugs - this was a bad idea because I was arrested and ended up spending a night in jail. Which was awesome by the way because it didn't bothered me at all. I am laughing out laud as my typing this.. good times. When I was released the next morning I immidietly went back to doing crazy ****. I bought myself a nice outfit and in the next few days I went to random events like weddings/parties/charity events/courthouses/companies and just walk around and talk to people pretending to be someone like employe or I just made up random stories of who I was and what I was doing there. My social skill were improving and I was able to hold normal conversations with just about everyone I met. I am 100% straight but that didn't stop me from pretending to be gay. I flirted with everyone and I mean EVERYONE. I would ask and go on a dates with random girls. I lost my virginity and had sex several times since then.
I went to thailand where I spent my days smoking opium with an old man on a mountain. This last sentence was a joke.
Beside spending a night in prison I was also robbed and beaten up, several people threatened to call the police on me (some did), also ended up doing drugs with random people. But I've had the time of my life.
Everything is possible. Social Phobia is 100% curable. I no longer have it and I feel simply amazing.
