How I’m Overcoming Social Anxiety: Social Anxiety Cure
Sep 08, 2010 in
Anxiety
Instead of fighting my anxiety, trying to treat it and using whatever other methods that haven’t worked for me in the past, I’m now embracing, accepting and loving my social anxiety. And not only that, I’m also asking for more social anxiety! Yep! I try to get myself in awkward situations that used to dread, I try to sounds dumb, I try to stutter, I try to sound awkward…I try to look mean, bored, uninteresting, I’m looking for ways to provoke my social anxiety whenever I go out now.

Interesting, I’ll give this a shot. So far the only thing that has worked for me is to get more involved in my mind and pay less attention to my surroundings.

Hay Vladimir!
My name is Alex.I am from Belarus;but I have been living in the USA for about 2 years.I realized that when I wiling to do something “embarrassing” for example I started to sing(yell) on the streets even tho I am a terrible singer(I blush sweat nad shake and still yell even more) lol my SAD goes away for a couple days and I feel freaking awesome but after 2-3 days I feel like my SAD mindset comes back.

I just started this new approach and I can see it helps you as well.( I will try to “sing” for more extended period an we will see).I would like to keep in touch with you so we can share ideas.Good luck Успехов
PS Have you tried “overcoming social anxiety step by step” by Dr Richards?What do you think about it?

Pills, therapy, books about the subconcious mind etc you name it.
In my experience I can truly testify that only The Living GOD has healed me.
Medications from doctors helped me a little and it was temporary.
God’s healing power is ETERNAL!
Now Im not an antidepressant pill dependent.
The cure for fear is FAITH!
Fear limits you.
FAITH ENABLES YOU!
People, THE ALMIGHTY GOD IS YOUR ONLY HOPE.
READ THE WORD OF GOD, HAVE FAITH AND OBEY!
God loves you and He wants you to LET HIM…

Wooh! Thank god. . . 6:30pm lately, i finally overcome my SA. I feel emotionally happy and free without any negative thoughts in my mind. And i discover that only faith can heal all sufferer like us. BTW i dont use any medication, cause i know its not the real treat, SA is NOT an illness, its just our emotion :-)

is it possible that if you just walk down the street and sing out loud and people will smile at you maybe or even chuckle a bit that it might make you feel connected with someone and even liked by someone if they smile at you..so long as you take it as a compliment and not laughing AT you. I think perhaps this connection would produce a feel good type of high that yes might last for a day or two as someone mentioned. Perhaps then it is necessary to do 1 thing per day that forces u 2 b extrovrted

I think everyone has their own cure, and of course the way is to embrace yourself and love yourself for who you are. Thanks.

How is this tactic working for you on the longer term?

Interesting – taking the energy out of the situation, by acceptance.

wow u have found the cure , genius

Well I guess it’s basically accepting that those feelings are human, and it won’t kill you. Embarassement won’t hurt unless you focus on it all the time and think of it negatively. Though I must say you have a LOT of courage to do this. I’ve been stuck with social phobia for a while now, about 5-6 years and it never occured to me to do that!
