Do?s and Don?ts in Dealing With Social Phobia
Social phobia is commonly occurring condition affecting adults and children in the United States. While most of the fears and anxieties felt by those who suffer are largely unfounded and irrational to other people, they feel that it is real. While social phobia is a difficult situation to contend with, it is treatable. With the right attitude and positive outlook, those who suffer and the people around them can work together to overcome social phobia and its related disorders. Below are some do’s and don’ts when dealing with social phobia:
Do’s:
1.Do consult a mental health professional or counsellor.
If you suffer from psychological and physical symptoms like prolonged worrying over irrational issues, fear of certain situations, shortness of breath, palpitations, excessive sweating, and nausea, consult your general practitioner. He or she may recommend a mental health professional to oversee your condition and prescribe the appropriate treatments.
2.Do take appropriate medication.
Appropriate medication, in this case, means medicines that are prescribed for you by your doctor. Each person is different and their reactions to drugs also vary. Taking another person’s anti-anxiety medication may not produce the desired results. What worked well for another may produce adverse side effects on you.
3.Do practice anxiety and stress management techniques.
Some people develop the nasty habit of being too dependent on their medications. Instead of popping a pill every time you feel anxious, try practicing stress management and anxiety-relieving techniques. Techniques like deep breathing, thought-direction, and meditation can help alleviate stress and anxiety the natural way.
4.Do join a support group.
A support group can provide people who suffer from social phobia with shared experiences and mutual sympathies. By joining a support group, you can get access to more information about your particular disorder, professional advice, and camaraderie from people who are having the same experiences as you do. As such, you can learn something from their experience and they, from yours.
5.Do try to overcome fears and anxieties.
Medication and therapy are just two ways to reduce anxiety. The total elimination of your worries and fears relies on overcoming them. While anxieties are not cured overnight, you can take small steps that can bring you closer towards eliminating them. For example, if you are afraid of crowded spaces, go to a mall for 15 minutes, gradually increasing the time you spend inside.
Don’ts:
1.Don’t belittle the fears and anxieties felt by people who suffer.
The knee-jerk reaction of most people when patients confide their anxieties is to dismiss these fears as trivial. This kind of reaction only encourages those who suffer to keep mum about their conditions.
2.Don’t let the fear control your life.
While social phobia can make you afraid of social situations, do not let this fear direct your life. Take control and do the necessary measures to control your anxieties by seeking treatment.
3.Don’t force an excessively anxious person into fighting the fear overnight.
Forcing a person or yourself to overcome fears instantly just adds up to the pressure and stress. Small but gradual steps taken to overcome the fear are more effective.
4.Don’t turn to bad habits to relieve the stress, tension, and anxiety.
While habits like inappropriate popping of anxiety pills, drinking, and smoking may relieve the stress and fear temporarily, they do not really help you in overcoming anxiety.
5.Don’t weasel out of therapy appointments.
Seeking treatment is making a commitment to get well. While going to therapy sessions is understandably uncomfortable for someone with social phobia, it is unwise to weasel out of appointments. Take a friend with you if it will help you feel more comfortable.

Overcome Public Speaking Anxiety
How to Overcome Public Speaking Anxiety – Speak with Calm Self Assurance with these 5 Top Tips!
“No Longer Feel Sick Through Fear And Panic…By Discovering The Secrets The World Champions Of Public Speaking Use”
Discover Secrets of the Professionals!
The act of Public Speaking is feared by the majority of the population even more so that death itself, so major studies have revealed! It is however a fear worth defeating and a skill worth mastering if you can, as to do so will boost your confidence tremendously and enhance greatly your career and social opportunity.
An eminent psychologist once said “do what you fear and death of fear is certain” and he was right! Most of us who suffer with this anxiety spend considerable energy avoiding public speaking situations, but if we were to meet the challenge head on, we would very soon have our fears under control. So ok, you have a public speaking engagement that you are dreading, it’s a week before the event and your anxiety levels are rising, perhaps the event is constantly on you mind, and maybe you are even having sleepless nights. You need help and fast, so what do you do?
Analyse your fear – it’s not speaking in public is it? If you can talk to one person, you can talk to one thousand can’t you – what’s the difference? Dig deep what are you afraid of? Appearing foolislh and nervous in front of peers perhaps? Drying up is a major concern too, and not coping with the fear and having to make a quick escape is usually the next. So how can you avoid these?
1. Fear is your friend! Actors, sportsmen, and performers of all kinds need a little adrenaline to help them perform to the optimum. You just need to keep that fear under control, so you must prepare well in advance, know almost by heart what you are going to say, and rehearse several times. If you fail to prepare, you are preparing to fail so learn your speech and only use bullet points on the day-don’t read it to your audience. Learning your speech will give you enough confidence to get you started, and after a good start you will be flying!
2. Check out the venue before the day if possible, and get a feel for it. Then rehearse the event in your mind over and over when you go to bed. See yourself speaking confidently with calm self assurance and your audience interested, engaged, and responding favourably. This will really give you an edge, and where your mind goes successfully, your body will be sure to follow!
3. One the day of the event, steer clear of caffeine and alcohol, they will not help you, and caffeine can really push your anxiety over the edge and out of manageable limits. Breathe slowly and deeply, in for a count of 7 and out for a count of 12, this will reduce the anxiety and your nervous system will start to kick in a relaxation response.
4. A few minutes before the event, whilst breathing deeply, remember a significant success moment in your life that you’ve prepared in your mind. Maybe a sports triumph or an exam success, a promotion, a hot date – anything that made you feel really good about yourself. Wallow in that success for a few minutes and the feelings that it generated. This will calm you mind also enough to get you started.
5. You’re on and running, pick a friendly face and engage with them, they will respond and you will start to relax. You’ve prepared, you’ve breathed slowly, you’ve had a good start and you are sticking to the script that you rehearsed and memorised and you’re doing fine. If appropriate, ask your audience a question, or invite their questions. This will take the spotlight of you and make your audience think, and see, YOU are now in control, and the audience are being guided by you! Slow down and do not rush to the end. If you find yourself hurrying, just breathe and have few seconds break, you are in control and you just take your time. A good conclusion will make you feel happy and content with your performance.
You’ve done it so congratulate yourself and be so proud of what you have achieved, and do it again soon!
