People suffering from social Phobia or a paranoia desease, have some beliefs they have created. Very often it's about that other people want to hurt them, and that they feel they don't know why. They think: Other people just want to do that...
The antidosis I have found for it (I have suffered from it too. Got a mental desease and got threatment at a mental hospital, so I know a lot about it. The funny thing is, that my psycologist was amazed about how quickly I have recovered after we found out what it was. I just installed some new great beliefs and changed my frames. That's all! Was recovered in a few months only) is beliefs about that other people want you to do well. That you're loved by other people. If you have deeprooted beliefs about that then you don't have any fobia for other people (if your fobia is that) and you are not afraid of getting rejected. You just feel loved.. Like good social people does uncousciosly. They love to communicate..
The frames a person has who has some phobia of other people or paranioa feelings are negative frames about, that other people want to hurt one, in some way or another. You are afraid of that they will do something to you. And the anti-frame for that is that other people love you, that other people want the best for you. I think these beliefs can cure anybody suffering from a mental illness in this context to a healthy social individual who is devoloping a good personality structure.
And a lot of people has this problem. Many have generated some situations in the past, and then created a phobia or some automatic frames about this and this situation, which makes you feel unloved and that other people can be cruel.. And the more often that happend, the more people generate this into negative patterns. And that pattern has to break. And create some other patterns. This is quite easy with new beliefs.
So the new frames get you into automatic thinking that people want the best for you. feel loved by others, and feel "anti-fobia-problem", because a person who feel that will get one with unlimited powers on self-developing. Everything gets great. A need is that people are social, and people gets mental illnesses if they are not!! It's why we have so many mental hospitals. It's not things that makes other poeple mental ill, it's people who makes other people mental ill. It's a need to have the right social beliefs. And the one who has that don't need confidence when facing other people. Why should you? You feel loved anyway then. It's so deeprooted beliefs that it seperate healthy people with people who are not.
Another really importent thing is that most people who gets a mental desease of this kind, are often loosing their motivation for establishing good rapport. If you don't know how to make rapport or that it is very difficult, that could later make the basis for schizophrenia. If you're good at it, you automatic also has the belief that other people want you the best.
Establishing good rapport will make more aasy for a person to be themselves togehter with any other person. Good rapport with many people over time makes beliefs over time that you are loved. You will get loved or better "welcomed" feelings from others. That you can use for your own personal benefits. When you have established rapport, you can easily get more into being yourself, because they then are totally into positivity stuff with you..
I think the course Resiliency contains a lot of stuff on how to establish good rapport with other people (I have learned it through other sources). Establishing good rapport will heal your connections with everybody much faster, will help you establish the right beliefs much faster.
Get a person who loves to communicate, be oneself with others, love the reaction from other people (it's what communication is about), maybe manipulate if that is fun. Develop personality structure...
If anybody want help on this, I would be glad to assist you with more information and help.
