Now, about Social Anxiety. You can't heal that with subs guys. You need to see a doctor for this. Long term therapy (and even meds) is needed to get rid of that shit.

I am living proof that this is not true. My social anxiety was bordering on agoraphobic when I started this company. There were times it was so bad that I could not leave my bedroom and even deal with talking to my roommate. There were weeks and months at a time I never left the house, even to check the mail.

Over time, using the right programming, I have pretty much done a complete 180. I now am well known to all the bartenders in town, and they get mad when I don't visit and socialize frequently enough. I meet people all the time and make new friends frequently when I go out. I talk to people I don't know, and I go where I please, when I please and do what I please. Parties are no longer impossible to attend, or even difficult to do. I have fun, even without drinking or doing any drugs.

Social anxiety is based on a set of beliefs that trigger fear. If you change those beliefs, you make the fears die. When that happens, the anxiety is gone. And there is no medication in the world that will do that. Only something that will change those trigger beliefs - be it subliminals, hypnosis, or some form of cognitive therapy.

Pills are popular because they quickly provide a mask, and they make someone an endless amount of money. Do you know what the perfect product is described as in the best book I ever found on business? Something cheap, easily accessible, necessary to everyone, and something that gets used up and must be re-purchased. The perfect product therefore is what? A bar of soap. But all you have to do is convince people they need pills, and voila. Endless profit.

Pills are a mask for symptoms, not a solution to the issue that causes the symptoms. Pills make it easy for doctors to see the patient load they need to see in a day to pay for their massive malpractice insurance premiums and still make money. Pills let lazy people hide from dealing with the actual issue. Pills make pharmeceutical companies tens and hundreds of billions of dollars per quarter in profits.

But pills almost never actually solve the problem.

But, if you are just shy, that can easily be fixed by actively pushing yourself into social situations. As time goes by, you will gradually desentisize yourself from the social shyness. I think, subs can make this happen faster.

This is only true for a small subset of the people out there who are shy. You assume that everyone has your own personality, and will react the same way. Some personalities would actually be damaged and made worse by this approach.
