How to overcome social anxiety?
The social tools in modern society are more and more developed, and the communication between people is becoming more and more simple. But some people dare not communicate with others face-to-face, and only dare to chat with others on social software. Once you chat face-to-face with someone, you have trouble breathing, or nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and brain bloating. This is social phobia.
Manifestations of social phobia
Social phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, usually occurs between the ages of 17 and 30. There is almost no difference in the incidence rate between men and women, and the onset is often sudden without obvious incentives. The main symptom is people's fear of getting tested in small areas. Once they find that others are paying attention to them, they will be unnatural, dare not look up, dare not look at others, and even feel ashamed, dare not speak in public, and dare not sit in front of the party. Therefore, avoiding socialization can lead to social isolation in extreme cases. Common fear objects are the opposite sex, a strict boss, the parents of the fiancé (wife), or an acquaintance. It may be accompanied by symptoms such as low self-evaluation, fear of criticism, and may develop symptoms such as flushing, tremors, nausea, or urgency to the point of panic attacks.
Treatment of social phobia
First, external force therapy
Hypnosis by a psychiatrist. Find a reliable doctor who is good at hypnosis for hypnosis, so as to understand the patient's inner world, his fear point, what is the source of his fear, so as to gradually awaken the patient's inner courage to face social interaction. Although hypnosis requires regular treatment and takes a long time, the effect is visible.
Psychiatrist's drugs. Psychological problems are some parts of the body that are out of balance, similar to a symptom of endocrine disorders, and a range of behavioral disorders are caused by this imbalance. Through certain drug supplements or control, the lost balance can be slowly adjusted to make it slowly on the right track.
The forced face of the psychiatrist. This is a very straightforward method to overcome all the time. You don't have to be accompanied by a psychiatrist, friends or relatives can. Simply put, do what you fear. For example, if you are afraid of crowds, you can stand on the street with the most people in the company of your family, watch people come and go, and pass by. Do not run, do not hide, so as to stimulate the patient's psychology.
Second, self-medication

Try to chat with a few strangers every day.
Adjust your mentality and face everything calmly.
When you feel like giving up, give yourself ten extra minutes to think.
Tell yourself this is a challenge that you can only face, but not escape.
