I have a question Genius.

For people like me and many others here who really suffer from Social Phobia , is it a good idea to find a job where social interaction are somehow more limited to deal with the pressure or should we , on the contrary , find a job which encourages us to be more socialy active?

Also , did you overcome your social phobia ?

Nevertheless, you are applying what Remus so aptly described as armchair psychology. You are using subjective views from your own life, as hard as it may be, to supply an opinion. That in itself I don't think is wrong, but you are giving answers as if they were truths. It's as easy to fix as a note on your original post saying that you are not actually a professional but have dealt with the problem to such an extent that you feel you can give help through your own subjective experiences.

to face your fears you must first fix what cause you this fears in this case its negative thoughts so you must ignore this thoughts first then replace it with positive thoughts

then to face your fears you cant face big fears or many fears at the same time
the right way is to face only one fear each time and it must be a small one

after a while you will find that the fear of this situation is disappeard so you move into a nother small fear situation and so on

is it a good idea to find a job where social interaction are somehow more limited to deal with the pressure ? sure this is the right way but with "CBT" therapy

It's not what I think about you. You could be the finest, most honest person in the world or you could be the most despicable piece of trash on earth, that has nothing to do with what I'm talking about. It's the difference between your opinions that either you regard as truths or would like others to do so, and facts.

CBT works on reprogramming your brain so it will remove all of your negative thoughts replace it with positive thoughts to your brain and as a result the brain will stop pumping this huge amount af adrenaline in social situations

eventually you will find your self just like any other social person (human being is a social creature by nature)

I know what CBT is. I majored in Psychology and Neurobiology for god's sake. What you said last should be a given, but with how you are presenting your answers it is not.
