From what I have read here, parnate seems to help a lot of people. Stimulants might help as well but pdocs are reluctant to use them because they are addictive. Some say amulsipride helps but I would rather take parnate first. It doesn't increase prolactin or block other receptors. Also its available in the U.S. if thats where you live. I would definitely try parnate first, if I was in that situation.
However I've never been in that situation. I think it could be something you can learn, but maybe thats like telling someone with depression to snap out of it. Is it so bad that you can't say high to someone in a shop and ask how their day is going? One can improve social skills in baby steps. Its also good to read and join some activities. Reading makes you interesting. Activities allow you to talk to people without a lot pressure since your learning how to cook, or playing a sport, or whatever as your main goal. Just some ideas, but maybe you need a drug as well, thats your call.
I'd just hate to see someone taking drugs with all their side effects if it can be avoided.
