Social Anxiety Support Groups in Pakistan: Where to Find Help

Answered 15 October 2026 at 6:37 pm PKT

Many people with social anxiety feel isolated, but you don't have to face it alone. This page covers the support groups and community resources available in Pakistan to help you manage social anxiety.

Are there support groups available for dealing with social anxiety? I’d like to know what kind of help or community support exists for people struggling with this.

Yes, there are ways to find that kind of support, and you're not alone in wanting it. Social anxiety is something many people in Pakistan live with quietly, often thinking they're the only one. The most accessible option right now is the HEALING community on depression.pk — it's a free, private online space where people share what works for them, ask questions, and talk about the everyday struggles of social situations without judgment. You can join through the /community link on the site.

What the community looks like

  • People post about their own experiences with shyness, fear of speaking up, or avoiding gatherings, and others reply with what has helped them — small steps, not big fixes.
  • It's not a formal therapy group, but it is a place where you can read and write without anyone knowing your real name if you prefer.
  • You'll also find worksheets and guided exercises under /tools that are made for social anxiety specifically — things like gradual exposure plans and thought-challenging sheets.

Face-to-face support groups are still very rare in Pakistan because of stigma and logistics, so the online route is often the most practical. The important thing is that you've already taken the first step by looking for help. Don't take tension if it feels slow at first — just reading other people's stories can make a big difference. And if you ever want to talk one-on-one, Zara is here on the site whenever you need.
