Before we begin, we would like to thank you all so much for your love and support for our channel Psycho2go.’s mission is to make psychology and mental health knowledge more accessible to everyone, and we hope we’ve helped you along the way.\r\n\r\nNow let’s begin As a child.\r\n\r\nI loved to be the center of attention.\r\n\r\nI wasn’t afraid to introduce myself or speak up, but now there are days when I find it difficult just to look someone in the eye.\r\n\r\nIt was frustrating to watch my peers build relationships with ease.\r\n\r\nWhile I struggled just to make a connection at all For years, I blamed shyness and lack of self-esteem for these changes, But it wasn’t until college that I truly learned about social anxiety, Just as with any mental illness.\r\n\r\nSocial anxiety affects everyone differently.\r\n\r\nFor me, it even changes from moment to moment.\r\n\r\nSometimes my nervousness reveals itself in stuttering or repetitive speech.\r\n\r\nOther times I freeze, I’ve learned a myriad of coping mechanisms, some more helpful than others, and techniques to understand the root of my anxiety, but none have been more beneficial than therapy Finding communities such as Psych2go, where I have a voice, as well as the Support system to reach out and relate to, also help me practicing using my voice with confidence, Even when I feel so fragile that I could shatter It’s. Okay, if you don’t, feel ready to join a community or speak up about your experiences, but the team at Psych2go wants you to know that we are here.\r\n\r\nHere are seven things: people with social anxiety will understand, Number one being social can be draining, While not everyone with social anxiety is an introvert.\r\n\r\nMany people can feel exhausted after a social event.\r\n\r\nWorrying can be tiring and trying hard to keep your anxiety under control while interacting with others can be enough for you to require time to recharge for the rest of the day.\r\n\r\nIt’s, okay, to push yourself to be social but be sure to know your limits and respect them.\r\n\r\nPushing yourself too far may end in more anxiety and exhaustion than you began with, And it’s important to take care of yourself and your needs.\r\n\r\nFirst, Two: you prefer texting over calling.\r\n\r\nDo you relate to the dread that comes when you receive a phone call For? They fear that calling someone will bother the other person For others.\r\n\r\nThey may not know who is calling or know what to say when they pick up.\r\n\r\nPhone Calls can be sudden, disruptive, and unpredictable. So you may worry about what the other person is going to tell you Number three.\r\n\r\nYou feel anxious without direct interaction.\r\n\r\nSometimes you might feel anxious without directly talking or interacting with someone Just being aware that someone is watching.\r\n\r\nYou can be difficult For some that occurs when they’re eating or doing other simple tasks.\r\n\r\nThe fear can stem from judgment for doing something wrong or differently, but more often than not people don’t pay attention as closely as you think, Number four.\r\n\r\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.pexels.com\/photos\/3833370\/pexels-photo-3833370.jpeg?auto=compress&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;h=650&amp;w=940\" \/>\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to friends, quality is greater than quantity, Not everyone.’s idea of fun includes hanging out with a huge group of people or going to a party.\r\n\r\nIt can be intimidating to be around a lot of people.\r\n\r\nYou don’t know, And you’d – much rather prefer to spend time with a few close friends.\r\n\r\nThe beauty of life is that no two experiences are the same, So there’s a friend out there for everyone, Even if you may be socially anxious.\r\n\r\nFive, it’s, not all in your head. Social anxiety can manifest as physical sensations for a lot of people.\r\n\r\nThese symptoms are similar to feeling embarrassed, sweaty, hands, blushing hyperventilating, but can feel more intense and last longer.\r\n\r\nFacing social situations can potentially lead to panic attacks for some people, while others feel physically ill or faint.\r\n\r\nThese physical symptoms may be scary, but they rarely are threatening to one’s immediate health Number.\r\n\r\nSix, you feel, like everyone is judging you When you’re socially anxious it can feel like you’re under a magnifying glass all the time.\r\n\r\nYou feel overly conscious about yourself and project those worries onto other people about their perceptions of you, but just because you’re monitoring every detail about yourself, doesn’t mean everyone else is too In reality.\r\n\r\nPeople aren’t as focused on you, as you think, and they likely have their worries too And number seven.\r\n\r\nYou are your harshest judge.\r\n\r\nWhen you’re socially anxious, you might find yourself comparing how you think act, or look to others.\r\n\r\nThis self-criticism can seriously hurt your mental and emotional health and it’s important to treat yourself more kindly While it might feel like others, make connections more easily or have it so. Well, it’s important to remember that everyone is going through their things and they have worries and concerns.\r\n\r\nJust like you do.\r\n\r\nWhen it comes to social anxiety, it can be hard to interact with people or make friends when you’re overly worried.\r\n\r\nThe truth is, though, there is no normal when it comes to being social.\r\n\r\nEveryone has their way of socializing with others, And you’ll find someone who you connect with on the same level.\r\n\r\nThere’s nothing wrong with leaving early or spending another night at home with your dog.\r\n\r\nWe hope you enjoyed this and found some comfort.\r\n\r\nWhat have your experiences been with social anxiety?
