If you suffer social anxiety disorder, then avoiding social situations is nothing new to you, feeling uncomfortable around other people - which causes blushing, in short words you would like to be more social but you cant. Before I found a way to cure social anxiety disorder, these problems were part of my life every single day. In this article I want to tell you about social anxiety disorder and how to cure social anxiety disorder.
Physical symptoms
Since every person is unique everyone have their own symptoms, but common symptom that most social anxiety disorder sufferers feel is discomfort at social situations - it makes you want to escape away from there. Another symptom that some people have is stomach cramps - it may happen while social situations or even after. Other symptoms that you have probably experienced are facial blushing, sweating. Blushing is one of the main problems for people who are suffering social anxiety disorder, because everybody can see that you're feeling uncomfortable, and worst thing is that when you try to hold it back, it actually might get worse. It is very common that for social anxiety sufferers it might be hard to urinate in public restrooms or where people are nearby.
Another major symptom I would like to tell you about is rapid heart beating, if you have experienced it during social situations you know exactly what I'm talking about, sometimes it feels so loud that you're actually afraid that other people can hear it - you don't need to worry about it, there is no way they can hear it.
Breathing is something so normal, but if you're at social situations you may have noticed that sometimes when you're talking to people you can't even finish the sentence when you feel that you have run out of air, and need to take a breath. This usually happens when you're around larger audience and when you notice problems with breathing it may make you more nervous.
These are just some of the psychological symptoms, as I said every person is different so don't worry if you have any symptoms that was not listed.
Psychological Symptoms
Psychological symptoms are mostly caused by weak self image that you may have gotten because of criticizing yourself.
Major problem is constant worrying in social situations, you constantly check what you're saying and your current pose, position of hands, etc. For example if you're sitting somewhere and there are people around, you don't know where to look, where to put your hands and how loud you should speak. It may feel that every time somebody looks at you, you're doing something wrong. Because of checking what you're saying, you can't feel yourself free and this makes you just want to escape from that situation, but truth is if you escape it will actually cause your social anxiety disorder to get worse - so remember no matter how hard it may seem - try to hold on and not to escape. It might not turn out successfully at first, sometimes it happens that you will escape no matter how hard you try, but important thing is not to give up and not to fall into self pity as it won't help at all, it will just make everything worse.
Because of all these symptoms, it seems better to choose to avoid everything and everyone, stay home safely where there are no people around you.It's the easiest thing to do, but most certainly not the right thing, life has so much to offer you, avoiding social situations will leave you out of so many opportunities. It is easy to fall into self pity and depression - I have felt all this.
Before finding a cure to my social anxiety I found many guides on the Internet, which didn't seem to help me at all or just a little, but those definitely didn't help me to overcome social anxiety. If you can relate you know what it feels like - trying some methods, hoping that you can finally start living and then it turns out it doesn't help at all. This is because every person has their own symptoms and there is no universal cure for social anxiety disorder.
I want to tell you that you should stop worrying what people think of you too much, also you should stop checking your behavior, tone and gestures and tell yourself that people are not looking at you, most people are too busy looking at themselves. There is no reason to be someone you're not.
You can't really overcome this problem just by trying to be who you are as many guides would recommend. For that you need a guide that would help you to cure all your symptoms.
Most important thing is not to give up, it is easy to give up if you try hard and then get rejected, but this is something you have to accept, just make sure not to fall into self pity.
If you want to overcome social anxiety disorder for good, I highly recommend you to get a book - this was only thing that helped me to overcome social anxiety disorder for good. A good e Book doesn't cost too much, and you can find so much more tips than you can find by searching the web.
If you want a book that will help you cure social anxiety disorder for good, you might want to read my review about my favorite ebook.
