Social Phobia
When people feel so self-conscious and anxious that it prevents them from speaking up or socializing most of the time, it's probably more than shyness. 71
People with social phobia can usually interact easily with family and a few close friends. But meeting new people, talking in a group, or speaking in public can cause their extreme shyness to kick in. 72
With social phobia, a person's fears and concerns are focused on their social performance — whether it's a major class presentation or small talk at the lockers. 73 They're also sensitive to fears that they'll be embarrassed, look foolish, make a mistake, or be criticized or laughed at. Then they start to focus on the embarrassing things that could happen, instead of the good things. This makes a situation seem much worse than it is, and influences a person to avoid it.
74 People with social phobia can learn to manage fear, develop confidence and coping skills, and stop avoiding things that make them anxious. But it's not always easy. Overcoming social phobia means getting up the courage it takes to go beyond what's comfortable, little by little.
First, we can help people create a plan for facing social fears one by one, and help them build the skills and confidence to do it. This includes practicing new behaviors. Sometimes medications that reduce anxiety are also used as part of the treatment for social phobia. 75
They can encourage people with social phobia to pick a small goal to aim for, remind them to go for it, and be there when they might feel discouraged. Good friends and family are also there to celebrate each small success along the way.
Dealing with social phobia takes patience, courage to face fears and try new things, and the willingness to practice. It takes a commitment to go forward rather than back away when feeling shy.
A. And family or friends are especially important.
B. It may be an anxiety condition called social phobia.
C. They feel uncomfortable about being noticed or judged by others.
D. So they avoid enjoying social activities, which can get in the way of life.
E. Social phobia is a fear reaction to something that isn't actually dangerous
F. Social phobia can be turned around with some focused slow but steady effort.
G. Each small step forward helps build enough confidence to take the next small step.
