Answers:
These people aren't helping much. I have social anxiety disorder, which I think is what you're talking about. I've tried psychiatrists before and they never work. I've heard there's something called cognitive behavioral therapy that might work, but I've never tried it.
I think my husband has this. He is on antidepressents and anxiety meds, it helps but the issue is still there. When ever we are going to go out, he will always start a fight so that he can use the same phrase he always uses, " I'm not going",.
We will be going out tomarrow and already he is starting up with me and i know it's because of our outing. Good Luck!
I am sorry that you have a social phobia. Great news though, you have hope now, with meds.
I dont know if you have phone books in India, but do some research and see if you can find a doctor, specifically a psychiatrist, and get on some antidepressant. I am currently taking Prozac (US. trade name), and it has done wonders for my social phobia.
If you can buy it over the counter, e-mail me, and I will be more than happy to tell you my dosing, etc.
im not confidentally with no one... not even with me. thats why i can say the true even when i lie
The articles listed below will help you to understand what social phobia is, & some of the things you can do to help yourself:
Do not jump to conclusion… do not give names to shyness…
This is not a disorder… do not go on a lookout for a psychiatrist… as you are not suffering from any disorder…
most of the people who standout in the crowed usually become shy… as whenever they go out all the eyes turn at them… it happens equally with the people who are extremely beautiful or having not so good looks…
so do not care for any thing… come out of your self imposed solitude… and be normal and natural… all the best…
I am really sorry for the news, but it would be better to contact a psychologist rather than a psychiatrist as they will be better with what we call CBT(Cognitive behaviour therapy)
Think in this way--- For a single moment think you are deaf and mute and you need to communicate something to others. Imagine the desperation and despair they would feel in order to communicate their thoughts. Now look at yourself. Now, dont you feel that you are many folds better than those people. At least you are able to talk and listen. Its like you are feeling bad that you are not able to walk as fast as others but you fail to notice that there are some people who may not have legs at all.
Hope you are able to get what I am intending to convey.
I am extremely shy, have social phobia, but I am a Trainer conducting on Stage ,I am in Media also, and people find me very confident, contrasting statements it will appear but very true, Dear if only You Focus on Solution not on
Problem, well I live my life on this Quotation, I have wasted my time and money on psychiatrist you will gain nothing from them , start developing your hobby learn new things, increase your knowledge, when your confidence level will increase your shyness will decrees but not all together, I read some were that shyness is kind of narcissism, loving our self so much that we feel that what ever we do or say will have a effect on other people, and that we feel that we are very important personalty in front of other person ,that's why we remain so conscious of what ever we do,and this much pressure builds social shyness the need to do and say right things.
GIVE YOUR SELF THE PERMISSION TO BE WRONG SOMETIME this will make you feel less EMBARRASSED LESS SHY .
hey friend it's easy just go to a psychiatrist and get consulted because i think no will be able to solve your problem completely other than a psychiatrist
The problem is you don’t have enough confidence in Yourself. Stop worrying about what others might think.

There may be many things you can do to help yourself. Meds really has to be a last resort.
There are loads of NLP techniques that may help you, especially with self-talk and self image issues. I have listed a page below that lists a number of techniques you can try yourself.
Most of my life I have suffered from extreme shyness, to the point where I was failing in school because I was so shy to speak in public that I could not answer when the teacher called upon me. I was incapable of answering even the simplest of answers from any stranger, even when I knew the answer. This is a form of anxiety disorder which can be fully treated with medication by your doctor. Tell your doctor what you have stated her, fully and honestly, and ask him if you have anxiety disorder which could cause you to be fearing that everything you say out loud may be being judged by others--causing you to fear speaking, and to become introverted to the point of dysfunction. i assure he will have medications to treat you, and your life will be restored. Do this today. And live again.

It sounds like you have social anxiety. I believe that this is being treated effectively in many people with Zoloft and other anti-depressants. I'm sure there is a mental health association in India that could refer you to a counselor and psychiatrist.
Keep your head up and good luck.
