Ever since I was a child I’ve been the quiet non-social type. Even today at the age of 21 I only have a couple close friends and am extremely shy. I often wonder if it’s social anxiety or just simply extreme shyness. It’s hard for me to initiate conversations with people, I hate when people compliment me sometimes, I feel awkward sometimes in public. I try to get out on weekends, but mostly by myself or with just one friend.
I also suffer from panic attacks from time to time, but is rarely initiated from social situations

I have had social anxiety disorder for about 5 years now. I have even filed for SSI because I just can’t seem to overcome it, and it definately affects my day-to-day life. However my education is leading me to a very social career path, and I really need to work to get over this anxiety problem. I never used to be like this before I had my first child, and I don’t know why I can’t seem to shake it now. What sort of things can I do to possibly ease myself back into being social?
Oh, and the reason I don’t want medication is because I’ve tried 2-3 meds and either they haven’t worked, or I become a zombie. I have 3 young children to take care of, I can’t be experimenting with meds.
