Is it common for people with social anxiety to despise something that has negatively affected their social life in a large way, or does this just depend on the person?

I believe negative things that have happened to a person, whether with or without SA, can result in him/her despising that very thing. Its only human nature after all to dislike something if you have had unpleasant experiences with it.
Whether a person overcomes the thing that he so depises will have to be viewed as a case by case basis. It doesn't mean if a person doesn't have SA, then he will succeed in overcoming the negative things that have happened to him, and similarly, it doesn't mean if a person has SA, then he can't overcome the unpleasant experiences that have happened to him.
I think the deciding factor for if a person overcomes his past difficulties is the strength he has within himself. For example, a sensitive person (one without SA), can be put off by negative things that have affected him before and refuse to ever be in the same situation again. Whereas, an SA person with a strong willpower and deep strength within him, though deterred by SA, can overcome negative events, other non social areas of his life and not be put off simply because he had encountered negative experiences from it.

Yes. When someone has experienced humilitation or embarrasment which is what SA is, they fear that situation. And whenever they come across it their mind views it as danger. And then the body reacts as panic-panic attack. So they avoid it so they wont have to go through the draining feeling again.
But there has to come appoint where you face your fears and be ok with messing up and being laughed it. Easy to say especially coming from someone like me. But you have to get to a point that i dont give a damn what people think or say i am living life for me. But its easier said then done.
