How I’m Overcoming Social Anxiety: Social Anxiety Cure

20 July 2010 25 Comments

Instead of fighting my anxiety, trying to treat it and using whatever other methods that haven’t worked for me in the past, I’m now embracing, accepting and loving my social anxiety. And not only that, I’m also asking for more social anxiety! Yep! I try to get myself in awkward situations that used to dread, I try to sounds dumb, I try to stutter, I try to sound awkward…I try to look mean, bored, uninteresting, I’m looking for ways to provoke my social anxiety whenever I go out now.

    sorry so what is your point i dont understand,what should i do?

  • y00n1x said:

    is it possible that if you just walk down the street and sing out loud and people will smile at you maybe or even chuckle a bit that it might make you feel connected with someone and even liked by someone if they smile at you..so long as you take it as a compliment and not laughing AT you. I think perhaps this connection would produce a feel good type of high that yes might last for a day or two as someone mentioned. Perhaps then it is necessary to do 1 thing per day that forces u 2 b extrovrted

    Wooh! Thank god. . . 6:30pm lately, i finally overcome my SA. I feel emotionally happy and free without any negative thoughts in my mind. And i discover that only faith can heal all sufferer like us. BTW i dont use any medication, cause i know its not the real treat, SA is NOT an illness, its just our emotion :-)

    @Chriomuz, how did you do it bro? Please tell me how you overcome it, im realy stuck in this illness, i feel that everyday its getting more worst, by the way, its started last 2008. . . I realy appreciate if you can help me :-(

  • Chriomuz said:

    Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.

    In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
    Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
    God’s healing power is ETERNAL!

    Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
    The cure for fear is FAITH!
    Fear limits you.
    FAITH ENABLES YOU!

    People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
    READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!

    God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM…

    I just started this new approach and I can see it helps you as well.( I will try to “sing” for more extended period an we will see).I would like to keep in touch with you so we can share ideas.Good luck Успехов
    PS Have you tried “overcoming social anxiety step by step” by Dr Richards?What do you think about it?

  • AlexanderFromBelarus said:

    Hay Vladimir!
    My name is Alex.I am from Belarus;but I have been living in the USA for about 2 years.I realized that when I wiling to do something “embarrassing” for example I started to sing(yell) on the streets even tho I am a terrible singer(I blush sweat nad shake and still yell even more) lol my SAD goes away for a couple days and I feel freaking awesome but after 2-3 days I feel like my SAD mindset comes back.

  • stiffupperlip4 said:

    Interesting, I’ll give this a shot. So far the only thing that has worked for me is to get more involved in my mind and pay less attention to my surroundings.

  • hotbotification said:

    I’m at uni at the moment and I feel like such a pussyhole I just can’t bring myself to talk to my flatmates and God I want to! but evreytime I try I find myself incapable of doing so and I just amj so scare of them judging me

  • drillahmon said:

    i think accepting anxiety helps the solution, i blush alot, and the more u try to cover it up or ignore it, the worse it will get, when u acknowledge it and talk about it it goes away, its when ur expecting to be embarassed or nervous then ur mind gives it to u

  • oo0alltheway0oo said:

    our problem is not being around people, its being anxious… if we r ok with being anxious we have no problem being around people

  • zone1480 said:

    I’ve tried the Linden Method and its not the permanent solution. I think the only way is to accept it and put youself out there. Good video.

  • akucamcun said:

    It sound like panic away method from joe barry

  • akucamcun said:

    Have you tried linden method? Im also suffer from social anxiety for almost 10 years so i know how bad you feel..God know how much it make my life miserable..evryday Im just thinking about how scare i am to go to school and until now to university for every single day!.to scare to do anything because people are watching..im just starting using linden method for a few weeks ago and its help me alot..it takes time but totally worth it…

  • LifeJuice90 said:

    I began having social anxiety when I was about 13. I was terrified of people for some reason. I can’t look at people and when I do, I am very uncomfortable. I had to fight to get friends in high school. I cannot talk to people that I do not know. I hope this helps me.
