I am one of the people who suffer from significant social phobia, I have a fear of talking in public.I even avoid social activity whenever possible. I feel very sad as I lose the happiest part of my life, social communication.however, I refuse to consult the shrink as I can't afford the fee. so I am thinking about if I can heal myself with praying instead of conventional treatment.the disease really bothers me. So any suggestion and similar healing apperience will be highly appreciated!

When I was a child, I'm very shy and timid. Every time my mother brings me to any social function, I felt like everybody's going to criticize my looks and the way I behave towards them. I was fat then that's why my self esteem is so low. But then as I enter college life , I learned how to become independent and to reach out to every people in any walks of life.I gained confidence within me.We should first have the courage to fight our own fears because nobody can help us butt ourselves only.
