I should add because I try my best to talk freely about it - I decided to deal with my social anxiety by going to a therapist. She had me go through the exposure therapy, and after about 3 months of going once a week and talking with her, and performing her tasks - I was done. I very rarely get anxious. Usually only in big public speaking events now. But casually, or in large business discussions - not at all.
It has improved my life more than most anything else I can think of. I think therapy results for many disorders might be mixed, but for social anxiety, exposure therapy can really, really work. I suggest anyone experiencing social anxiety to go to a therapist, and try it.
