Fear and anxiety are two of the most common emotions with social anxiety disorder. Here are a few strategies to cope with them:

🟢Avoid using alcohol to avoid inhibitions.
⚪️ Stay up to date on current events so you can make small talk

Lastly, find a community that can help you. Talk about your fears and feelings. That way, you get to understand yourself better. Clarity creates rationale.

#CreateZim #MotivationalMonday #WhatIs Social anxiety disorder is a mental health disorder where interacting socially causes irrational anxiety. Social interactions for people with social anxiety cause irrational fear, embarrassment, self-consciousness, and exhaustion.

[Create Zim @CreateZim]

Learning stress management techniques, not thinking of yourself as the centre of attraction, and not trying to calculate how people should react to you are some tips on dealing with social anxiety. Therapy and engaging in social situations bit by bit also helps.
