I'm sorry you have this suffering too. It's possible, or even likely, that some social phobics are neurologically driven this way. An inborne tendency. Why???? I wish I knew!!!!!! But behavioral therapies like CBT do seem to help. If public speaking is the worst, have you considered joining Toastmasters, or the like, with a therapists support in the wings? Strangely, though I don't like giving speeches especially, I usually give presentations that are very well-received. Though once or twice nerves gave the game away. Still it's not as bad to me as going to the doctors or having a family visit, or trying to have a friend. These sorts of situations can make me quite ill. There are some useful links in another thread for social anxiety websites/support groups.
