Social Anxiety Phobia

You know some social situations can really make a person paranoid! At least that is what I used to think. I was amazed at how many people suffer from social anxiety phobia who I know personally. My life has been a lot better since I figured out my own techniques.

Social anxiety phobia is something that about 7% of the entire population suffers from at any given year. It is the fear of going out into social situations because people may laugh or talk about you.

Social anxiety phobia is no picnic because it can hit you when you least expect it and it seems like other things. A lot of people thought I was just shy because I was fine at home talking on the phone but as soon as I was out in public my social anxiety phobia would kick in.

At one point I decided to do research into my problem because it was stopping me from living my life. I found out that there were so many things that would trigger my social anxiety phobia. Simple things like saying something in front of a group or being introduced to new people would make me feel insecure and awkward in the situation.

Eventually I found my own way to deal with my social anxiety phobia because it was making things very difficult in my life. I have found so many ways to help others with social anxiety disorder that I want to share them here on my blog.
