How To Overcome Social Anxiety
How To Overcome Social Anxiety
I have come to believe that social anxiety is just part of the human experience. Even though some suffer more than others, everyone knows how it feels to become anxious in social situations. In this video, I talk about 3 ways that will help you deal with this issue.
“Nothing in the affairs of men is worthy of great anxiety.”

have to think but dont think that your going to do bad as youl attract
failure think positive and be enthusiastic and youl be the boss once your
master how to control your state of mind youl be able to controle anything

How does one get or feel anxiety or social anxiety? 😮 sounds like
soemthing impossible to feel, sorry
When it’s truly like, a disorder though, it’s a lot harder. I deal with
literally panicking over going outside to grill in my own yard because
there’s people. Human life exists?! Oh no! Haha. I can’t even handle phone
calls or video chats because I fear not understanding people to a just…
Stupid level. But once I get out of the house everyone loves me and I
become miss social life of the party. I went on a freaking cruise in
November! It takes a lot of time and just sorta forcing yourself to deal
with it before it gets better. And even then, it doesn’t always seem like
it’s any better. Everyone has their own ways of dealing with it too of
course. My favorite is just watching some dumb funny videos and having a
cold beer before I leave the house! Lol
Social anxiety or social phobia is diagnosed as situational too. Such as in
performance situations.
Eventually I realized one of my problems was that I implicitly considered
others as superior to myself. The fear of being criticized is only valid
when you believe other people are “better” than you. And considering others
that way, I idolized them, and was rather vain.
But as I got older I learned the value of humility. Identity and ego are
delusions and are chasing one’s tail. Only what you mean in another
person’s eyes, is what matters; the effects you create in others.
Another thing people don’t realize is that, people with social anxiety can
often appear outgoing. I’ve seen another person on YouTube that has social
anxiety but she can be very expressive.
I’m very expressive as a writer or communicating without speaking (which
involves communicating “myself”). In person I’m extremely quiet and
generally come across as an ass. For example interrupting someone when they
are talking because I’m so nervous I want to get through the interaction as
soon as possible. I tend to sound robotic when obeying social norms, like
expressing thanks, or “Hello”, “Goodbye”. Which makes it sound like I’m
insincere.
2:25 It doesn’t always work. Social phobia used to be classified as
“deathly terror” in social situations. That’s what I used to have. To
ignore that, you would have to be able to suppress your will to live. In
other words it’s like sticking your hand in fire and the entire time
feeling your hand on fire, and “letting it be”. It doesn’t work, because
the fear and the pain of the situation, is so extreme it overwhelms you.
0:20 I vote…awesome!
you look jewish
you talk and dress like nanny fein
and no, you dont have social anxiety .lol.
when i go, i act as if i dont see nobody
Maybe catch the nearst Shamp, class to ease thing down , and lossen a bit
check for somebody u know or u have seen befor.
if u dont know anybody, search for the oldest lady , and say “OMG u have an
awesome dress….just to satart a conv.
OR tell u what , Take me with u, i will make your conference very
fruitful….>(kidding)
.
Sometimes it’s best you keep it real when a person.Even when YOU KNOW.The
truth will hurt him.Hopefully next time he learned,he wont go out on a date
with a sock on like that
I vote awesome. Great post as always.
I never knew that’s why I was like that. My mom yells at me because I cover
my mouth to eat and when drinking I make sure no one is looking. Also I
make myself sick before performing. I also constantly worry about being
judged And I’m losing/lost a few friends cause of me being so quiet and
un-social.
I like how you mentioned Tai Chi and meditation, that does really help. The
methods you find there carry well into social settings.
You’re right some people can be very good at socializing but when it comes
to something they don’t know about. Of course social phobia. Some people
get it but some dont. I believe as you mention just relax and go with the
flow. We are all related. We are all human. And there are so many things we
can relate to each other about so that’s part of what we can socialize
with. Like you said you had social phobia because of politicians. Their
just like us. There is so much we can talk about but it is true that social
phobia occur in everyone. We all get stuck sometimes but observe first then
join. Will help. I have social phobia but before I was pretty good at
socializing but trauma caused me to become social phobia. So I started
learning all over again. I observe then join. And just be me and not think
about if they are judging me or not da da da. So I am now, you can say a
little better than before. Nothing last forever. That’s what I tell myself.
Even all the knowledge everyone are learning. We learn new things everyday
but also lose old things everyday. It can be material or knowledge. If we
don’t practice our knowledge it will start to fade away. That was my
problem. I isolated myself n more but yea. Now life is beautiful as always.
I know now that whatever doesn’t kill you makes you stronger. It’s because
an injury can always heal. But remember let TIME heal it. Not ourself. Like
nature. Or plants if it doesn’t die. When spring comes it revive but not
right away in that same season. TIME. The RIGHT TIME. All nature can
revive. We all can learn from mistakes.
I like the leopard print. It is awesome looking on you.
good advice. but ill add that anxiety is fear of shame. shame is caused by
self-doubt. self doubt is caused by negative self judgment, which is caused
by judgmentalism.
