I haven't posted on the board in a very long time, but I won't sleep tonight if I don't respond to the comments on social phobia.

Social phobia IS a serious, life altering illness. Advising a social phobic to just find a way to build self-esteem is ludicrous. Would you tell a suicidal depressive to just go have some fun? Think about it.
Before you comment on an illness, please take time to do the research. If you’re interested in really understanding social phobia, the following URL is a good start.

You wisely took the high road and chose to educate instead of attack. Well done.
