How long does it take for therapy to work?

I know it’s going to take awhile and I need to be patient with myself but I really want to to know how long it takes. I’m sure it depends on the person but I just noticed how bad my social skills are and makes me want to become a recluse. I know what I want to say but can’t find the words but typing it out like this, i’m fine. It’s driving me crazy….

There is no exact science with therapy. It works for some people, but not others. Also depends on how good the therapist is.
Its never worked for me, but could be that I didn't put enough work in to it.
Typing things out is far easier than talking it out face to face at times.
My social skills used to be really bad and can be at time now, but on the whole I can communicate. I have had to for my work, so you have to get over yourself.
I wish you luck with your journey ahead. You will get there.
