In most cases, the best solutions to overcoming this phobia is social skills training, and self help therapy, rather than drugs which is not able to produce permanent changes in your brain.
1. Control Your Reaction to Fear - One of the biggest problems with any type of anxiety disorder is the reactions it causes in our bodies. Increased heart rate, a racing mind, sweating, shakiness, and other reactions can result from our fears. Overcoming these reactions is as simple as learning relaxation techniques such as yoga, meditation, and self hypnosis.

2. Prepare Yourself Mentally - Rather than let your fear of embarrassment or humiliation overwhelm you in social settings, role play a few scenairos in advamce to make sure you are well prepared for any challenging situations. If you are prepared for things that can go wrong and you know what to do and say in those awkward moments, you will have the confidence to keep calm and handle the situation well.

3. Face Your Fears - Sometimes, our social fears does not stem from a lack of social skills, but rather from a sense of insecurity and a lack of esteem. By stepping outside your comfort zone and placing yourself in uncomfortable situations such as speaking in front of your peers or complimenting someone, and doing it repeatly, the easier it becomes. Soon you will soon realize that there is actually nothing to fear from most people and you may even enjoy and laugh about it.

4. Get Involve Socially - Take an assertiveness class, volunteer for a event that keeps you in a social setting, and work to build relationships with people you normally wouldn’t. Alternatively, join a local or online support group and talk with other like minded individuals with the same problem and hear their struggles and triumphs. This will give you the confidence you need to help break your self imposed barrier of fear.

5. Positive Visualization And Affirmation - The way you think strongly influences the way you feel. The realization that only you can control how you think, and how those thoughts control you, is an important step in overcoming social anxiety. When those thoughts, such as “I’m going to fail” or “they will make fun of me” begin making their way into your mind, challenge those negativity and replace them with more realistic, calmer thoughts. Tell yourself that you are capable, confident, and wonderful to combat those negative thoughts. Positive visualization and affirmation are helpful in motivating you along the road to curing yourself of this problem and improving your self worth.

i am eating for Xmas holiday with my gf's folks, conservative middle classed Punjabis and I am a bit nervo but I don't even have panic attacks so I can't help you there. But what I tell myself is, I'm sure it won't turn into Meet the Parents just go in....and eat.

I've had lunch with them before and it's not too bad but that's because my bf can tell when I'm getting a bit stressed so he's like come on let's go do something, but dinner is a bit longer and a bit more formal
