Do social situations make you feel stressed or uncomfortable? These psychology-based tips may provide relief.
But you might also want to know that social anxiety isn’t all bad. Hendriksen described it as a “package deal,” in that the powerful self-consciousness you feel when your social anxiety is triggered is also a useful part of you. It’s baked into your high standards and the care you feel for other people — that is, your desire to beand helpful. Hendriksen described people with social anxiety as excellent, sympathetic listeners who do their best to get along well with other people.
If you think this might be you, it may help to do this exercise on paper. Write this down: what exact circumstances are you most afraid of in a social situation? Who, exactly, do you think will judge you? What are you afraid they will say? Is the group you are currently socializing with very likely to stop what they’re doing to make fun of you?Even if so, perhaps it is less likely to occur than you expect, and perhaps its results will be less hurtful.
You may be able to come up with a plan or a strategy to manage the experience as well as you can, like talking yourself through it in a compassionate but reasonable way. Thinking realistically can help you recontextualize potential social “disasters” as unpleasant but rare occurrences that would not deal you as much damage as you think.You may be wondering what exactly you’re supposed to do while you’re struggling to identify and challenge your fears.
