Social phobias or any phobias are caused by repressed problems or a conflict that a person has and then he displace it in a symbol and project it in an environment. People who had social phobias are usually has low- self esteem and so they are scared that they will make mistake around other people and he will be laugh at. These problems has caused a major effect in the persons interpersonal relationship and also his work and everyday living that is why some will seek the consult of a psychiatrist.
What will a Psychiatrist do, he will have to do Systematic Desensitization. He will expose the person to a crowd gradually. First he will have the person speak one on one then he will speak before 2 persons until the time that he can already speak before a large crowd. This thing is really effect and for those people, they should help that person to gain self esteem, through self confidence the person can view things positively and not negatively; and supportive therapy from the family members. These people needs a lot of encouragement from his love ones and recovery can be done 100% and fast if those people around him are involve.

I will research why that person is social phobia. From there I will try to understand where she's coming. We cannot judge a person because they're different from us instead we try to understand them and find ways to help them get through on whatever they are experiencing.

My brother has terrible social phobia. I mean awful. He would get sick every morning before school- I would wake to the sound of him vomiting in the bathroom because he was so terrified. He hardly had any friends, was heartbreakingly insecure and would lock himself in his room when I brought over friends or when we had family get togethers.
The best thing to do is to be as non-aggressive as possible. Be uplifting and encouraging. But don't seem fake. Rather be as genuine as you possibly can. With someone with social phobia, it's best not to talk about things that could get you worked up (aka Politics) because they will become nervous and run away. Meet with them one on one, large crowds may scare them or even just having another person may scare them. Once you build the trust, they are going to relax around you more but it is a long process.
Social phobia is a severe problem and you always have to remember that they cannot help it. They just are terrified. They're nervous. Always on edge. Just try to be as understanding as possible. They will latch on to every body movement, so watch your body language too!
Hope this helps!
