No, I don't think so.
I believe, like you, that in many cases the core of SA is a low self-confidence. If we had a higher self-esteem, we would feel more comfortable in social situations. Now, as said flakeybark, the most difficult part is to improve our self-confidence, is to love ourselves

Lots of wisdom in this post. A huge lesson I've learned in my journey overcoming social anxiety, depression, and borderline personality disorder is this: a deep, conscious love for myself and love for others takes the edge off of all my problems, and eliminates some of them entirely.

Yes, The Beatles ARE right.
I am happy to see topics like this and people thinking over them. Love yourself. I've said it several times - you have your unique place in the world, in the Universe, and are needed. You have value and you do make change. Think about it with some examples and you'll see it's true.
In another post today, I wrote about the human prisms and the light. By saying 'light', I mean truth, love and enlightenment. Light is for everyone. It's actually easier to allow it to flow through you than to stop it. And it's this stopping that causes suffering.

Yeah, it's very difficult, but I think realizing that we "have" to love ourselves is already a big step. For the moment, I'm trying to convince myself that nobody is expecting me to be perfect, always interessant or funny and it's hard, but I feel I made some (little) progress in some situations.
