Don't want to hijack the poster's thread--but I have the paranoid type of social anxiety and have never seen anyone make the distinction between that type and the physical manifestation of nervousness type, which I don't have. I actually appear cool in social settings, but find them very awkward, so avoid them. I have also tried various kinds of meds. over many years with varying degrees of success. SSRI's seem to work the best eventually, though I'm scared of them long term. Am curious about what you'd recommend for this sub-type.
