So it's not a medical condition, #5? Woah I am so glad to hear that. SO if it's not social anxiety causing my hot flushes, sweaty palms and my inability to form simple words when having an attack, I guess it's just alllll in my head.... right.
'Be Yourself' is some of the worst advice you can give someone with anxiety... Don't you think they're already trying to be themselves? There's no magical epiphany to be realised here...
It's so easy to think rationally when you're alone and at home but when you get into that social setting, your mind automatically drifts into those recurrent thoughts of self betrayal. It's not something you can control for someone who has anxiety. That's the problem.
The recovery process is long and hard, just as long as it took to get your anxiety in the first place, which for me was years and years. The only cure is positive affirmation, meditation and muscle relaxation techniques. You can try anti-depressants if you want but in the end they will be more detrimental to you.
People who take anxiety lightly simply have no clue what they're talking about. It kills people mentally and it really is like an infectious disease. It manifests itself feeding on your negativity to draw more negativity, with that negativity drawing more and more negativity. It doesn't end until you take a stand and decide to change it.
See a psychologist to get you on the way, or better yet, look into the audio series, 'Overcoming Social Anxiety: Step by Step'..
This is such BS. In the old, old days, before modern psychology. People with "social anxiety" were pushed into where they needed to be with themselves and others. There was no "it's ok, you're sick, it's a medical condition." Really, it's because people with "social anxiety" are too fucking wrapped up in what others think about them. They need to exert positive force in every situation, instead of half-assedly trying to be a receptor for emotion and information, because they can't -- on that level anyways.
