I have lived with social anxiety for years but never took anything for it as I am already taking much too ]much medications for diabetes and arthuritis and high blood pressure. I am okay in small gatherings or with my best friend and my son, but am not so good with strangers at all.

Is it that you don't want to be around a lot of different kinds of people? Does it cause panic? Sometimes, you just have to buck up and get around people. They are great to watch from a corner. The interaction between them can cause a lot of joy and sadnes. You can tell who has stress, and are there only out of obligation as well as who is there where they want to be. It can be fun.
