See a psychiatrist. I know one of the reason someone social anxiety person doesn’t meet a psychiatrist is a fear by anxiety but you are not socializing with a psychiatrist but he is gonna help you and he is paid.

I have the same problem. I went to a therapist first and she was going to try hypnosis with me and have me record it so I could take it with me and listen to it. I didn’t have much faith in it so I went to my family doctor and got on Alprolozam (anxiety medication). It actually doesn’t make me feel “not myself” I haven’t had any panic attacks since. I would suggest if you don’t want to try medication to try a therapist and do hypnosis. Best of luck to you.

If it were me I would try to get the help of a therapist. You seem a little fragile and should not risk doing anything that could give you set-backs.

Try to gradually work with yourself in getting into social situations. Do one on one contacts, just being a part of a group, knowing several people together, larger groups etc. The idea is to succeed with less difficult situations and gradually gain some confidence that you are willing to try the next step.
