How to overcome social fear?

Social phobia is usually the result of excessive excitement in the amygdala (the part of the brain that receives stimuli from the surrounding environment). Need psychological counseling and medication, the specific methods include:

1, first find out what kind of chemical reactions are taking place in your brain when you feel anxious and timid. You're not abnormal. Your brain just reacts abnormally to new stimuli, which makes you handle it with extra care. Knowing this will help you understand what happened reasonably and make you more relaxed in the future. You don't have to be shy and anxious. Tell yourself that this is just the reaction of some chemicals and cells when they encounter some non-existent threats. Don't panic (ignore the beating heart and sweating heart), calm down and deal with it rationally.

2. Accept yourself and like yourself: don't treat yourself as a social phobia patient, focus on your own characteristics, be bold, and don't exclude yourself, so as not to aggravate your symptoms. Discover your own bright spots and gradually cultivate self-confidence;

3. Don't panic. There is no need to panic in social situations. If someone asks you a question, stop and think for a while before giving an appropriate answer. Most people who are anxious and panic in social situations will answer immediately. They felt obliged to answer the question at once. As soon as others' voices fell, they thought they were forced to start talking, which was unnecessary. You never want to answer immediately. Generally speaking, you just want to react after a short period of thinking. When you do this, your words will sound more thoughtful and insightful, you will express what you want to express more completely, and you will look more executive.

Remember this, if you don't remember anything about the whole article, remember this: everyone is clumsy occasionally. During the conversation, everyone will say something inappropriate from time to time. Don't think that the embarrassing situation and silence are entirely your responsibility, and don't feel guilty because of the negative factors in the conversation. There will always be inappropriate things, and there will definitely be silence. These are all normal, completely normal. Keep being yourself.
