How to Overcome Social Anxiety Disorder Fast
Are you suffering from extreme shyness and want to know how to overcome social anxiety disorder? If so, I am glad you have found my little site because I would like to see if I can help. My name is Mike and I know what you are going through to a limited degree, but enough to know how horrible it is to be so fearful and afraid of panic attacks in social situations.
Overcoming Social Anxiety – My Story
Many years ago I went through what was luckily a phase of extreme shyness bordering on social anxiety. During this time i experienced two panic attacks – one that landed me in hospital which was humiliating because the doctor basically thought i was faking being sick. The other one was when talking to a girl I liked – to this day I remember i was trying to ask her out and I don’t know what i said. The blood was pumping so hard and my vision blurred and i nearly fainted – it was scary and embarrassing. How to overcome social anxiety and shyness is not something I consciously did – luckily it never gripped me so badly as it gripped some other perhaps like yourself.
I believe however that education, information and applied self help techniques can give a huge amount of aid to people in your position who are living in fear every day and yearn for freedom from this condition. Overcoming social anxiety is possible and I want to give you some help to cure it completely.

Hey thanks for the links and the articles. I am so sick of being so fucking shy and anxious in social situations. It feels like I can only communicate on the internet properly and even then sometimes in chat rooms when the attention is on me I get really nervous.
I will check out his panic away thing tomorrow – thanks again man!
Hi Jack,
I hope it helps, I understand just how crippling this condition can be and I have heard nothing but praise about the Panic Away program. Please come back and let us know how you went so others can hear first hand what you thought!
Hello Mike, I have social anxiety but I also have many other problems with anxiety and panic and a great many phobias. I find it extremely difficult to even leave the house and I am so scared I will never lead a normal life!! Can this thing help someone with as many problems as me, please help!
Hi Sally-Anne,
All anxiety, worry, and phobias stem from the same place. All of these things devolve into fear and panic in the same way – but perhaps in different circumstances.
So yes, I believe that this guide can help you overcome these problems because the same technique to help with overcoming a social phobia can be applied to other disorders like agoraphobia, or phobias of any kind including generalised anxiety disorder. I hope you consider it as it douns like you need some help and I am certain you will find a great amount of relief from this system.
thank you so much! this really is helping me. i felt so scared and embarrassed and i thought i was just insane! thank you for giving me hope.
Hey there,
You are not insane at all. You have the capability to overcome anxiety and panic – and just becuse you experience these things does not make you any less of a person at all!
I am glad you have some hope now, that is an amazing thing that you can carry forward into a better future. Good luck!
I was recently diagnosed with social anxiety disorder which I think in my heart I guess I knew I had all along. I have also battled with depression as well and life is really tough right now.
I was prescribed anti-depressants and SSRI anti-anxiety medication as well but I have really bad reactions to most drugs so am scared to take them!
Dos this program you recommend incldue any drugs at all??
Hi Gregory,
The Panic Away program is completely drug free. There is nothing to do with medication and everything to do with natural methods of overcoming social anxiety, panic attacks and any other anxiety disorders too.
In fact, the same methods will probably help with depression and other similar mental issues as well. Primarily it is about retaining your brain to deal with your fears better in a way that most psychologists do not teach (perhaps because it works and you would not return for more appointments …).
It is well worth a try before you start taking those pills.
please send me more infoermation, i realy appreciate what you have said i would like to overcome social anxxiety fast. Bye

If you have any more specific questions please feel free to ask and I will see what I can help with!
I can say that I have not had a panic attack in months, but I also avoid most all social situations where I think it may deem me uncomfortable. Aside from going to work, I work in retail so I’m always surrounded by people, I visit the grocery store a few times each week, making sure the trips are short and painless. I started journaling, deep breathing, and changing my thought patterns so I wasn’t thinking quite as much about these situations, but I have fallen victim to never wanting to leave my home when I am there. I stopped going out to eat with my family and doing other fun family things I know I’m supposed to be taking part in. I recently broke down and talked to my husband about it. He knew something was wrong, but I don’t think he knew the extent of my feelings. I’m also a bit of a germ-a-phobe and trying to always stay healthy, so I’m sure that is another problem that makes these situations worse. I don’t want to resort to therapy, I wanted to figure it out on my own and help myself get past this because I have the knowledge and I’ve always been a strong individual. Any advice is welcome. I’d love to hear from people dealing with these same issues. Sometimes just by recognizing that there is a problem helps to ease it away a lot faster. Thanks for this website.
Hi Tara,
You are totally correct in that recognizing the problem is a big first step. It is never easy to admit you have a problem especially if you pride yourself on being strong and able to overcome most obstacles in life – it is a sort of courage to be able to do that so well done!
Therapy is not always needed but a good deal of introspection is. In the end you must be able to take control of your thoughts and be able to rationalise away the anxious and destructive ones, but this can take time.
I suggest you have a look at Panic Away as it has helped a lot of people deal with these problems and it is not just about the panic attacks it does deal with social and general anxiety as well.
Please post your thoughts if you are in the same boat though readers this is a good conversation to have for everyone!
I’m suffering from social phobia extremely bad in some situations. The worst situation is when I’m around two or more people sitting down having conversation. I get a racing heart, a blank mind, and a horrible feeling like I’m gonna pass out. Ive had all these feelings just today while having a couple beers with my boss and coworkers. I usually find some comfort after a couple beers but I couldn’t find any today, so I left early to avoid my uncomfortable silence. I went home just feeling completely devasted and depressed. I was so down the only solution a could find was to sleep taking a nap to clear my head. I’ve had this problem my whole life I’m 22 and I just want to come out of this shell I feel like I’m trapped in. Any suggestions to get over this horrible brain trama will be greatly appreciated
Hi Chad,
First up, do not feel ashamed of this problem – and know that alcohol does not help this, in fact it can sometimes make it worse.
The feeling of going to pass out is probably an approaching panic attack which you avoided by leaving which is good in some ways, but the constant fear of having that sort of reaction may get worse than the fear of social interactions in general.
That advice does not help overcome the problem I understand but it is essential background information that you need to know.
What you need to do is break the cycle of fear and the downward spiral of catastrophic thinking that will always crop up when you are in such situations.
There are a huge amount of lifestyle changes you can make which will help with diet, control of your breathing and body and so forth – but the key to really ending this problem lies in breaking the mental links to the fear or fear itself, and fear of social situations and embarrassment.
I highly suggest you take a look at Panic Away for more information about that.
The most important thing apart form the mental techniques is your willingness to change, and your determination to stick with it. Remember that if you stumble along the way, you do not go back to the start, you just pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and continue from the point of progress you have already made.
Best of Luck Chad!
Hi, panic away sounds brilliant.
I have social and phobias- when I’m walking down the street I feel as though people are watching my every move which makes me feel all tensed up and not knowing where to look and I behind homing in on my every move. My worst situations are sitting around tables with people, it doesn’t matter who it is, I just don’t know where to look or what to say- and I’m so on edge that when I’m Actually bought into the conversation I stutter or have nothing good to say as I haven’t kept in the loop of what’s going on. It’s like I can’t concentrate on what is being said to me- my mind wonders off into blankness. Every social situation is stressful and such hard work I sometimes just feel like breaking down after it is over- I thought that socialising with people was supposed to be fun and enjoyable. I feel so trapped and I’m hating it so much- I wish I could just relax and be comfortably seated within my self and enjoy people. Because of my seemingly lack of confidence, things to say and social skills I know that I cone accross as arrogant, boring and with no sense of humour. I used to love meeting people and socialising and having a laugh. I used to be the joker who created the laughs. Ive had a few years of taking recreational drugs at weekends and think that these problems may stem from that. If so is it reversible? Can I ever find my old self?? Will panic away help me with this?
Thanks for reading- regards, steve
Hi Steve,
Sorry for the delay in response, been out of town for a few days.
You sound like you have a classic case of social anxiety man. I know the feeling as I have said but certainly to a lesser degree so I really feel for you.
The good thing is that yes, you can recover. Drugs mess with our brains in many ways, and with a combination of that and general life situations you can rewire yourself to think and act in different ways. This of course means that you can rewire yourself right back!
Its not a flick of a switch, but Panic Away can definitely help you overcome that anxious feeling that tongue ties you, that makes you feel awkward, if can stop that sickening feeling when you become the focus of a social situation even briefly. It teaches you methods that break old ways of thinking and inject new ones. This si a program that helps you rewire your brain to how you WANT to be.
Check out the testimonials on the page – I bet you will find a bunch that have similar situations to yourself that have recovered. I would love to hear back from you if you do decide to get the guide – nothing helps other people like hearing about the success of their peers!
Good luck Steve – I hope that helps
