At first glance it’s going to be cliche but go through it, remember that your brain is tricking you. Think this way, even if they figure out you’re stressed out how can they know it’s because you are afraid to be judged? they don’t have that much time to even think about you, people are seeing you as a human that passes on or just breath rapidly for no reason!



I don’t think people understand how stressful it is to explain what’s going on in your head when you don’t even understand it yourself.

Here’s some tips that was helpful to me;

1.Push those fake boundries

It’s an issue that you must exposure yourself to society and show your strength to them, after widening your social circle out you will know that humans are so simple than you thought they are. If you’re in college try to say Good Morning to your classmate with big grin and you’ll notice that people will try to communicate with you, and you will put them in your mind’s safe-zone and this is how you can mentioned as a friendly person and most important thing is you have more allies.





2. Don’t try to please Everyone

Being a “people pleaser” is common if you have social anxiety. And it might not seem like a bad thing.

But it is a bad thing. At least when taken to the extreme.

If you’ve always been told you need to please others, then you might have a hard time saying “no” to anything. Your brain has learned to associate saying “no” with a rejection of the other person or being rude.

3.Trick your brain

Yes! trick your brain, when you are about to start a panic attack start doing abnormal things like coughing loudly and consistently or bite your arm as hard as you can, remember; This should be so physical and intense that your brain confuse to either calm you down or trigger you to get out from that place, but don’t do that often cause brain can get used to it.

4. Expand your safe-zone

Your brain want you to stay away from danger and it’s normal. It can have many reasons but in nowadays fear of being rejected is considered as a big danger for our brain. Examine everything in your social radius. If you live in big city step through some festival and ask for people’s opinion about something and try to ask them interesting questions and say them some compliments because, if in the middle of that conversation you experience panic attack you can barely step away and come back they will not recognize it because they are thinking about compliment that they have just received from you.

5. Try medication

Tried everything, no result? It can be serious!

Your problem can have other underlying reasons, visit your doctor first.

Social anxiety is related to part of brain called “Amygdala” (a structure in the brain that controls fear response and feelings or thoughts of anxiety), and it can be overactive in some people for no reason.

You need your body to produce “serotonin” enough to calm you down if your body can’t do it you must stimulate its production with medications.

Or maybe your brain is overactive (which means you’re smart), you must slow it down and shut some parts down with “GABA” stimulants.

In next article I would write about some of these drugs and effects of them and my experience over medications.
