what is the right way to overcome social phobia ?

..................

Personally, I believe only I can change myself.

There is no "right way" there are different ways that work for different people. There is no magic one-size-fits all treatment. For me a combination of cognitive behavioral therapy and antidepressants seemed to work, but who knows what would work for someone else.

both medication and behaviour therapy work.

So by using both, you're only bound to do better 😉. So i say both... but to be more accurate:

CBT, medication, exposure therapy, metacognative therapy (though I haven't tried this one yet).

none of them. You have to face your fears is the only way to overcome this.

I like this. I really want to be able to defeat it this way. I am so up for facing my fears and overcoming it naturally.

cbt/meta-cbt/meditation/compassion/schema therapy.

When I overcome mine I'll let you know how I did it. 😉

I like how you use "when" instead of "if" 😉. Good for you! Let me know too, pls 😀

It's different for everyone. I don't think medication cures the main problem though; It just makes the symptoms more tolerable.

I am surprised no one voted for medication. Perhaps some voted for both.

At several points in my life anti-depressants saved my life. Now I am on an anti-convulsant that somehow allows my good feelings to arise. Normally I am extremely morose and suicidal.
