Today I found a good website on social anxiety. The author is Larry Cohen, a licensed clinical social worker in Washington, D. C.
An interesting feature of this website is Cohen's article about gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people having vulnerability to social anxiety. He outlines some of the negative core beliefs that generate social anxiety, such as "I'm fundamentally different and don't fit in," "If someone got to know the real me, they wouldn't accept me," and "I'm not good enough to be accepted by the people I admire."
If you peruse his website, you'll find a number of valuable articles, and a link to an NPR story on CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) for social anxiety.
