Social Anxiety And Shyness

Question: I am extremely shy and afraid to go out? What should I do?


Answer: It is possible that you are an introvert and this is not due to any underlying condition. However, if this is disabling and preventing you from doing your activities of daily living and achieving your goals you should consult a psychiatrist since it is possible that you are suffering from social anxiety disorder.

The treatment of this condition is by behavioral therapy. You should consult a therapist who has experience in Acceptance And Commitment Therapy (ACT). This type of therapy has shown a very good result in treatment of this condition.
