Dating With Anxiety: 8 Struggles

(lively music) (dinging) – [Narrator] Hi, Psych2Goers and welcome back to another video. Thank you so much for all the love and support you’ve given us, enabling us to venture further into everyday psychology. So let’s begin. Awkward silences, clumsy stumbles, and even mistaken names. Sound familiar? They’re all part of dating, whether you have anxiety or not. The true difference comes before and after the hiccup. Did you spend all day practicing what you would say? Are you going to come back to this small moment in time again and again when you think about dating? When you’re struggling with anxiety, it can be incredibly frustrating to have an extra obstacle to navigate when you’re trying to focus on finding love but you’re not alone. There are countless resources available both on and offline to help you learn, find support and cope with anxiety. Who knows, maybe you’ll meet someone who can relate. Before we begin, please remember Psych2Go is not a medical professional and these videos should not be used in place of a diagnosis. With that said, here are eight dating struggles people with anxiety face. One, thoughts turn into obsessions so quickly. Have you ever been so preoccupied with dating that it feels like you run into couples wherever you look? It turns out there’s a science behind this phenomenon. Karen McDowell Ph.D. told Healthline that anxiety stems from the way we think so, she began, “If you fear that you’re unlovable, that your date will not like you or that you will do or say something awkward, your brain will go into overdrive, trying to confirm its suspicions.” Two, your fears try to end things before they even begin. Self-sabotage can sound as subtle as I can’t ask her out. She’s way out of my league. If you’ve given up on something before you’ve even tried, stop. The anxious thoughts that make you hesitate are to protect you from potential region or embarrassment. But by avoiding dating altogether, you’re guarding yourself against opportunities and connection too. Three, what are you supposed to say? Does your mind race through what-ifs during introductions? Do you rehearse your hello for the 100th time until it sounds just right? Even though this can be an awkward moment to navigate for even those who don’t struggle with anxiety, meeting someone new can often be a trigger for anxious individuals. They might lose their train of thought altogether. What does a person even say to someone they’ve just met? Four, you can’t stay present when you’re together. Do you find yourself ruminating in the past or worrying about the future? Time travel might be a cool concept in science fiction movies but when you’re trying to have a rom-com moment, it just doesn’t click. Connecting with someone requires you to be in the moment and attentive to the other person but this can be difficult when your brain is swirling with input. If you can relate to this, don’t be too hard on yourself because there’s a reason your mind wants to do it. Five, spending a night out means spending a night stressed out. Leaving home makes a lot of people anxious. But for some, this can severely impact their social life. Mayo Clinic defines agoraphobia as a type of anxiety disorder in which you fear and avoid places or situations that might cause you to panic and make you feel trapped, helpless, or embarrassed. While this fear of stressful situations might keep you indoors and isolated, you are not alone. According to the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, over 40 million people suffer from some type of anxiety disorder in the US alone. So you’re bound to find someone who’d be excited to spend a night with you. Six, anxiety’s physical symptoms can ruin a date night. Fewer things could ruin date night faster than an anxious thought, which spirals out of control. If you experience physical symptoms of anxiety, such as dizziness, heart palpitations, or sweating, you know just how real the struggle can be.

These symptoms come on fast and can be extremely debilitating. Think of something along the lines of stomach trouble on a first date. As embarrassing as it can be in the moment, remember that everyone has times when their body and even their mind turn against them. Seven, you always assume things won’t end well. Are you a glass-half-empty kind of person? Has it become only too easy for you to find the worst-case the scenario in any situation? When anxious and intrusive thoughts have been around for a long time, they begin to become so habitual that they’re automatic. It’s easy to imagine relationships crumbling to pieces or first dates ending so badly you’ll never show your face again. But if you’re able to give it time and lots of practice, imagining second dates and a happy love life may not be so hard either. Eight, it’s hard to get to know someone when communication is so scary. One of the most frustrating things about anxiety is that it stops you from pursuing things you want deep down. Even though what you want is to connect with them, you still may seem nervous or even fearful around the person you’re interested in. In some cases, anxiety can stop you from expressing your feelings or communicating with anyone at all, which makes the frustration grow further. Do any of these apply to you? Leave a comment down below about your experiences. Also, know that you’re not alone in this contradictory struggle and there are so many understanding people in the world who want to know you, support you and maybe even go out with you. We hope we were able to give you a little insight into the inner workings of an anxious mind during dating.

Social anxiety can make you obsess over your social interactions. You may spend a lot of time and energy analyzing other people,’s, facial expressions, body, language, and tone of voice to see if they mean what they’re saying or not. 7. You avoid social situations. Are you often absent or very late to social gatherings? It’s a serious matter if your social anxiety leads you to avoid social situations altogether, You decline, invitations refuse to speak in front of people, and would rather sit in the corner to avoid being noticed and mingle with anyone else.

Two) Separation Anxiety Disorder This type of anxiety is more common in children than adults.

The Key To Overcoming Social Anxiety

Improvement pill here a very interesting study was conducted in 2000 at Cornell University by Professor Thomas Gilovich he took groups of students and randomly selected one individual from each group he then told the rest of the students to show up to a certain room at a certain time to work on a quote-unquote project it's very important to note that all of the seats in this room were positioned in a way so that everyone was facing the door he then took the singled out individuals purposely stalled them a bit and had them wear a t-shirt with a well-known person on it such as Martin Luther King or Bob Marley he then told that individual to go to the room knowing that they would be late and also knowing that all of the other students would look up at the door and notice who was coming in this experiment was supposed to replicate an embarrassing event the singled out individuals knew that there were the only ones who were late and they were led to believe that everyone else noticed by the fact that everyone looked up when they walked into the room after the experiment the researchers asked these embarrassed individuals how many of the students do you think remembered the incidents vividly and on average these singled out individuals reported that 50% of all the other students would be able to recall the event and the shirt that they were wearing because well they messed up and they were absolutely sure that a large chunk of people in the room noticed but what the researchers actually found was that only 10% of the students in that room were able to recall the event and the t-shirt five times less than what our embarrassed individuals thought what this experiment discovered is what's called the spotlight effect we humans often overestimate how much others care about our negative and also positive actions we think that the spotlight is on us that everyone is looking at us and judging us when in reality the large majority of people simply don't care and this is a very very important concept that you need to internalize if you are struggling with social anxiety see the main reason we feel anxious around others is because we feel like they're watching us and judging us we're scared to act how we want to be ourselves because we don't want to risk people looking down on us we don't want others to dislike us but in reality the large majority of people simply don't care that much about you I know this sounds like a bad thing but it's just human nature most people are stuck in their own heads and are thinking about themselves not you the moment you internalize this concept and genuinely start believing in it your levels of social anxiety will drop significantly but of course this is much easier said than done how in the world can we get ourselves to truly truly believe in the spotlight effect well today I'm gonna show you a simple two-step process that I personally used to drill this concept into my own head step 1 you need to become more aware of your own thoughts the large majority of us are oblivious to the fifty to seventy thousand thoughts that we have on average every single day which is why you need to start building a mindfulness habit like meditation where you try to clear your head and try to focus on one thing like your breathing when you build a mindfulness practice like this you will become 10 times more aware of how you think and you will also start to notice that the large majority of your own thoughts are about yourself past events future concerns worrying about what others think that sort of stuff you'll notice that less than 1% of your own thoughts will be about other people that you come across randomly throughout the day step 2 once you've started becoming more aware of your own thoughts you can start doing another mental exercise one that I like to call the swapping shoes exercise this is when you go to a public place and pick out a random individual then you focus focus focus and you try your hardest to imagine what's going on in their head imagine that you're in their shoes living their life what problems are they currently facing what are they currently worrying or stressing out about what sort of insecure thoughts are going on in their head what other things do you think they're thinking about allow yourself to really imagine being in their shoes and also imagine what sort of thoughts are going on in their head by doing this exercise you will start to condition yourself to believe that others spend the majority of their time thinking about their own problems and themselves which is actually true the more you do this the more you will internalize the spotlight effect which in turn will allow you to start feeling less and less social anxiety as you start to realize that people just aren't paying that much attention to you it might sound a bit sad to realize this but in reality you'll feel a huge weight being lifted off of your shoulders you will feel free this episode is sponsored by blankets oftentimes I get questions from you guys about where I get all of my ideas from and to be honest a fair amount of them do come from books the problem is that sometimes it can be hard to find time to sit down and read which is why I recommend kist Linkous takes the key teachings from thousands of non-fiction books and convinces them into 15-minute snippets that you can read or even listen to that way you don't have to read the entire book in order to extract the lessons I use blankets whenever I need to quickly learn more about a subject for example just the other day I was doing some research on the subject of psychology trying to find some new ideas the problem was that there are literally dozens of books published every year about psychology it would have taken me forever to manually go through each of these books but because I have plinkus I was able to quickly learn a lot about many interesting psychology concepts from great books such as truth by Hector McDonald life lessons from a brain surgeon by rahul jandial and childhood disrupted by donna nakazawa all of which i recommend you guys to check out the first 100 people to go to WWE is calm Ford /

Panic & Anxiety Gone $49.95 …self recovery

Panic & Anxiety Gone Is A Site Retailing Advice For People Suffering From Panic Attacks And Chronic Anxiety. Impact of Anxiety Attacks More than forty million American adults suffer from some type of anxiety or panic, and for many, it has a very real cost to their lifestyle. If you find yourself arguing with your partner more frequently than normal; catch yourself side-stepping social events, or perhaps even fostering unrealistic feelings of fear or apprehension there’s a good chance you are experiencing some type of anxiety disorder.

Undoubtedly, you’ve heard the term “panic attack.” The reality is that panic attacks are real, but they are just one of many types of anxiety disorders. One myth surrounding anxiety is that having an anxiety disorder somehow makes you a bad or weak person. Everyone has had feelings of anxiousness or fear at some time or another. How a person deals with those feelings is what determines if it is ruling your life or not. For a growing percentage of society, the impact of anxiety is very real, and that only reflects cases that are reported. What is really alarming is that many adolescents and children are also affected by stress and anxiety. The body’s basic response to stress is significant in how a person protects themselves from perceived threats. It measures a person’s chances for survival when faced with danger or a potentially dangerous situation. A person can either face the stress and fight back, or retreat and take flight.

The fight or flight syndrome is a person’s reaction to stressful circumstances, even in the ordinary course of life. Such reactions or choices are inherent in your modern fight for survival.
