There are some individuals that find it terrifying and very difficult being seen in public or at the focus of attention. Although social anxiety is by far one of the most common anxiety disorders, it remains largely under-recognized. For sufferers, managing panic attacks can be especially difficult without professional help. Social phobia isn't the same for everyone, but for some it can be a terrifying ordeal to have other people around.
Negative past occurrences can cause negative thoughts and behaviors that can lead to low esteem, lack of assertiveness and social phobia. Past negative experiences such as ridicule, embarrassment or being made to feel guilty can have harmful affect on the mind.
These problems can seem too much to handle at times and can deeply affect a person's life. An individual can become locked in a negative pattern of worry and anxiety and find it difficult to come out of this state. Negative thoughts and experiences that have been stored into our subconscious, over months and years cannot simply be forgotten. These experiences end up embedded into our thoughts, our habits and behaviors.
Knowing how to prevent panic attacks can make a big impact on one's life, but it's just as important to tackle the habits and behaviors that develop into social phobia. Overcoming social anxiety can be as simple as managing your thoughts, since what you regularly focus on is what you'll feel and become. It might seem impossible to think differently in the current frame of mind you're in, but we are all free to change how we feel and see things. We can all learn to be happier, stronger and to be more confident, and one way to do this is to change our self image and outlook on life.
Our past does not have to rule our future. People can show immense strength and resilience, and with unwavering determination, show others that they will not be beaten. Going in the right direction, however slow, is still going in the right direction. Techniques including Emotional Freedom Technique and Neuro-Linguistic Programming can provide panic attack relief but also make long term changes to habits and thoughts. Work everyday to maintain positive thoughts about yourself and others, and reframe things in a positive light, and you will see confidence emerging in social situations.
Make a plan of what you want to achieve in life and take action. If you have big dreams, plan smaller goals which will get you there. By setting achievable small goals we not only gain the satisfaction of attaining the goal, but we gain confidence and motivation to go for more.
Nearly everyone would like to change something about themselves. Don't wait for somebody to come and motivate you to change the way you feel and look, motivate yourself to make the change. Having frequent thoughts of self-inadequacy and belief that other people think the same of you, is a destructive habit. What the mind thinks is often what you believe others to think.
When we become excessively conscious of ourselves and people around us, we lose the ability to live in the moment and enjoy life. Being excessively self-conscious and worried about what others are thinking will only hold you back. You need to work towards becoming the person you want to be. Right now, it may seem impossible to be a person that can handle being confident in front of others, but change only takes time.
