Social anxiety disorder is a long-term and overwhelming fear of social situations. It can be very distressing and have a big impact on your life, however for some people it gets better the older they get but for others it does not go away without treatment.
Self-help techniques can help to reduce social anxiety and it may be a useful first step before trying other treatments. The following tips are recommended by the NHS:
🔹 Try to understand more about your anxiety – by thinking about or writing down what goes through your mind and how you behave in certain social situations.
🔹 Break down challenging situations into smaller parts and work on feeling more relaxed with each part
🔹 Try to focus on what people are saying rather than just assuming the worst
If you feel these tips do not work then visiting your GP is a good idea, especially if social anxiety is having a big impact on your life. Remember it is a common problem and there are treatments that can help.
