How To Overcome Social Anxiety. PART1

Overcoming social anxiety is not that big problem that many people find it difficult to deal with or think it’s difficult to free themselves of it, and to completely overcome that social anxiety and to become more and more social. And here are some tips to help overcoming social anxiety:

WHAT IS SOCIAL ANXIETY ?

Social anxiety is that feeling that comes to you whenever you are surrounded with people that you kow or you don’t know. That awkward feeling that makes you feel not at ease when you are with people. That feeling that prevents you from expressing yourself freely in front of people, to express your beliefs, values, the way you feel about something and to express your true self, or try to avoide facing people because you are somewhat AFRAID of something.

What causes social anxiety. Part1

N°1 Discounting oneself : have you ever asked yourself questions like this : why I feel that way when Iam around people ? Why Iam not rather happy when I interact with people ? Why I don't like to be with people? Honestly, the answer to all these questions is that you are looking down upon yourself, you think that you are not worthy, you think that people don’t deserve to be with you. And believe me that’s what makes you broke not only in the area of overcoming social anxiety but also in all the other areas in your life, because there is a saying that says : “what makes people broke is that they constantly keep discounting themselves.“ What makes people socially anxious and unable to interact with people is that they keep looking down on themselves. So never discount yourself anymore, you are already awesome just the way you are.

N°2 Lack of self approval : Many people hate to do many things, when they are alone, but once they see someone they either freeze and don’t do anything for they feel shy or embarrassed, or they start to behave in a different way and they start to talk in a different way. They change everything, they give up who they are and they become completely someone else and they do so just to impress people and to avoide awkward situations. 

We try to impress people because we want them to approve what we do so we feel satisfied even if we completely dislike what we are doing and because we are afraid to stand up for ourselves and do what we want not what others want. We give others more importance than we give ourselves but the moment you start feeling that you are important you'll begin to overcoming social anxiety and become more social. 

So stop trying to impress all the people and start to impress yourself, start to love yourself, unconditional love, as you are, start to enjoy yourself because if you don’t love yourself you won’t love your life and if you don’t enjoy yourself you won’t enjoy your life.
