strangers are the worst but even friends and family are hard
i have to pysche myself up to make them and usually try to get out of them if i can

I think that you need to start st the source - your mind. I know that that sounds too obvious but I mean that you need to examine the way that you think, your reactions to stimuli.
My suggestion would be to take the time to read a good book on the subject. There have been postings about books made on this forum so you could track down the titles of some of them and either borrow from a library or purchase one, new or otherwise.
yes, you must be very miserable right now, im feeling for you dude..
i just cant emphasize the importance of what GettingThere has mentioned in this post..

Hey Damien...so want did ur therapist said when u said despite being afraid, u go through ur daily routine, meaning that exposure therapy might not help since you juz go about life doing what u have to do?
Although I haven actually been in your shoes(I have problems with the exposure therapy part), I did once read about this very successful person who suffered from SA for twenty years. He was actually some1 quite recognised in his field- he gave lectures in front of hundreds, attended huge parties regulaly etc.. Despite having SA, he just went out to do stuff like you and Ghanima...
