😎 How to EASILY overcome social anxiety 😎

What is social anxiety ? Well, it's the fear of being judged negatively by other people which leads to avoidance and less interaction with people all around you.

Millions of people have social anxiety and it's a serious problem because it leads to many negative things in their lives, unable to feel good while in social environments and home seems like the only safe place to be for escaping the fear of interaction with people.

Why does this happen ? Because someone who suffers from social anxiety never leaves his head. The person will always focus on himself, thus will always be afraid of embarrassment which leads to many things like - self blame, depression, indecision and constant worrying.

People who suffer from social anxiety feel emotional stress in situations like:

• Being watched while you do something

• Interacting with strangers

• When in a social environment

• When you are the center of attention

• Meeting people

• Being judged or criticized

• Feeling uncomfortable while being with people

• Afraid to answer a phone call

The list could go on but these are just a few examples.

How to overcome social anxiety ?

Overcoming social anxiety is not such a hard thing to do once you know how to fix it.

First, you have to realize what you're doing wrong. For example, you walk into a party and immediately start thinking - "Oh, do I look stupid ? Am I doing something wrong ? Are they laughing from me ? What does everyone think of me ?"

You think that everyone is watching you, waiting for you to mess up. And a lot of people think like that. Like I said, millions have some form of social anxiety.

Well, to fix this you have to direct your thoughts from yourself to others. Basically you have to forget thinking about yourself, how you look, what you do, what everyone is thinking about you and start focusing on other people.

This means that you have to become aware of other people's body language. If you know nothing about body language then I recommend you checking this video out as a starting point. There are many more videos about this topic and a lot of books.

By trying to read everyone's body language your focus will be shifted away from you to others. This will make you think less about how you look or how you act. You won't give a fuck about being judged or embarrassing yourself because your focus will be elsewhere.

Once you achieve this you will realize that most people really are not thinking about you. They are in their own heads always thinking about themselves. Thus, there is no reason to feel anxious about others thinking about you.

When you're able to read anyone by their body language people will start liking you a lot more because you understand how they feel and what they want.

Learning body language might not be the easiest thing to do but you don't necessarily have to master it in order to cure your social anxiety. Just being aware of this and constant focus on others will make you think about them instead of yourself.

And even you don't have social anxiety, learning the body language is a skill that will help you through out your whole life.
