The problem is the solution!

Hi everyone, I'm a newbie to the forum and am from the UK. I pretty much suffered from social anxiety ever since I could remember. I've been trying every self-help technique on the planet, have read more than a dozen self-help books on psychology, philosophy and so on. I'm too afraid to try meds after hearing the horror stories and addiction problems of others. I'm starting to think that this is a never ending battle until it dawned on me that the whole situation of finding answers to the problem may very well be the the cause of problems. Anybody else feel that way? Do you think that since there are so many of us maybe it is normal to love one's own company and feel embarrassed around others?:um
