Do you know how does it feel to have social anxiety? Do you have social anxiety? Social Anxiety has always been misunderstood in this society.
Yes I have Social Anxiety and people always misunderstand me and they just think that I am showing an attitude to them or ignoring them.
BUT NO!!! I just have this thing called social anxiety and I think people need to be educated on topics like social anxiety, depression, PTSD etc..,
I have been affected by Social Anxiety in various ways. My longing for connection and my dread of criticism and rejection seem to be at odds all the time. It's common for my social anxiety to be so intense that it causes physical symptoms like rapid heart rate, sweaty palms, and an unpleasant knot in my stomach.
The way social anxiety affects how I see myself and other people is one of the most difficult parts of the condition. It seems as though I have an inner critic that constantly judges everything I do and say.
Knowing that I have so much to offer and contribute, but being unable to completely express it because of my anxiety, is disheartening. Due to my crippling fear of leaving my comfort zone, I've lost out on opportunities and connections.
While I realize that everyone has periods of self-doubt, social anxiety can make this feeling a person's regular companion and a persistent roadblock to personal development.
Even though social anxiety can be detrimental, it's vital to understand you're not the only one who experiences it. Others deal with similar difficulties, so it can be quite helpful to ask help from the people who understand you.
My ability to discover empathy and understanding has increased as a result of being open about my experiences and vulnerabilities. It has also helped me build relationships with individuals who actually care.
Self-care routines have grown to be an integral part of my life. Journaling, reading books, doing the stuff I love, talking to my loved ones and meditating are some of the practises that have helped me stay balanced and manage my stress. I may recharge and develop resilience in the face of social anxiety by setting aside time for me.
So, this is my first blog here and I hope you all felt relatable with my blog and always remember that you are not alone. Thank you for reading and supporting me :]
