How to overcome social anxiety fast:
Don’t judge yourself by the eyes of others:
What people may say, what kind of criticism they may make, whether you look better than others, whether you have more intelligence than others, others may not accept you, and such thoughts of being inferior in your own eyes should be removed from your mind.
Always keep one thing in mind you are unique in this world, there is no other person who exactly looks like you, or has the same personality and character. Everyone has a uniqueness, you are not exceptional. Be confident in your abilities and yourself, then you will never feel inferior in front of others and can easily blend in with everyone. If you talk to a thousand people, a thousand people see you, then everyone’s opinion about you will be different, everyone’s judgment will be different, can you be good in everyone’s eyes? Never possible! So ignore them.
Everyone’s thoughts are their own, and influencing them creates feelings of guilt, and spreads unnecessary fear, which can exacerbate social anxiety disorder.
Prepare mentally:
The best way to protect yourself from a social anxiety disorder is to be mentally prepared. Mental weakness is the source of any anxiety disorder. People become mentally weak by repeatedly talking to themselves about various issues and thinking negatively. The key to preparing mentally to become mentally strong is to break down your weak believing pattern. Our minds are always busy trying to validate/execute our beliefs.
Once the trigger situation of social anxiety is clear, then you have to find your core beliefs about this, such as self-image, intelligence, beliefs about society, other people, family, or any types of negative experiences you have. Based on these your mind distorts and generalizes and assumes any event, leading to increased social anxiety.
So to overcome your social anxiety you need to break this belief pattern, and to do that follow these three steps.
First, you have to question yourself and ask yourself why you are assuming what you are assuming. Is there any reality to what you think? What happens if you do the thing that makes you afraid or anxious? Whenever you ask your mind such questions, the belief in your mind will start to break.
Secondly, First, consciously face several times directly the situations that cause your social anxiety. Face the situation with your most trusted and reliable person if necessary, it will break your old false beliefs.
