Social Anxiety
Human beings are in a constant strive towards perfection. Since ancient times, people have sought to learn new things, explore new places, be the best that they can be. However, never has the world been as fast paced, as uncertain and so full of promise as today. Is it any wonder that there are soaring levels of social anxiety in a society that makes small children take exams?
Stress and anxiety are introduced to us at younger and younger ages. Although they may not be forced down coal mines or up chimneys anymore, people today are introduced to expectation and pressure from a younger and younger age.
As we enter the rat race of life, new anxieties emerge - getting a job, starting a family, having enough money. Increasingly, people live more isolated lives away from traditional support networks, they live in cities which render them anonymous. This is part and parcel of the reality of modern life, and you can learn to deal with it.
Social anxiety is that feeling of dread and apprehension, it is destabilising, anxiety is a mentally paralysing experience. It is, however, far from just being a mental experience, for anxiety causes intense physical effects within the individual. These include symptoms such as accelerated heart rate, sweaty palms, mood swings and feelings of nausea. When you suffer from social anxiety disorder, the world can seem quite frightening.
When you hear people say things like 'It's just anxiety' the implication is that social anxiety is somehow a minor experience. If you do suffer from extreme physical sensations or just feel concerned, visit your GP.
Your thoughts are what make you, because your behaviour is influenced behaviour greatly by how you think. Social anxiety can create a vicious circle of thought and behaviour. Fixing anxiety means fixing your way of thinking. Because anxiety is a product of fears, facing your fear is one of the most effective methods of dispelling it. Telling yourself that something is awful, terrible, or horrible increases levels of anxiety. You should remind yourself regularly that few things that happen to you are really that terrible. Try renaming events with softer adjectives such as unpleasant or unfortunate. Remember, the manner in which you think will affect the way you feel about the world.
To beat your anxiety, resist the temptation to solve every problem you think causes it. Accept that doubt is always going to exist in some shape or form and think about how you think not what you think. Overcoming worrying thoughts entails being at peace with all thoughts that enter your mind.
Let us think about some of the most common anxieties that exist within our society. Panic attacks are very intense bursts of social anxiety in the absence of actual danger. Panic attacks appear to the individual to come out of the blue and are accompanied with strong physical sensations. The panic element sets in once the individual becomes fearful of these sensations, creating a vicious cycle. To conquer panic attacks, sufferers need to enter in to situations they have been deliberately avoiding and resist putting fears about them to the back of their mind. Be mindful that the sensations you receive are not life threatening. Face your fear and remind yourself there is nothing to be afraid of.
Agoraphobia is another common social anxiety that exists on many levels. Some people are slightly agoraphobic in the sense that they get panicky about being in new situations or around new people; others suffer from something more debilitating - intense agoraphobia The World Health Organisation defines agoraphobia as a cluster of phobias (irrational fears) related to leaving home, entering shops, being in crowds and public places, or travelling alone on buses, trains or planes. Agoraphobia can often lead to a change in behaviour where you deliberately avoid situations which may cause you anxiety, such as only leaving the house with a friend or partner, or ordering groceries using the Internet, rather than going to the supermarket. This change in behaviour is known as avoidance.
If you suffer from agoraphobia you should consider cognitive behavioural therapy as a treatment. In recent years, cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) has achieved some success in treating people with agoraphobia. CBT is a type of psychotherapy based on the principle that the way you feel is partly dependent on the way you think about things. CBT teaches you to behave in ways that challenge negative thoughts - for example - thinking that a panic attack will occur if you are in a certain environment.
