How To Battle Social Anxiety? by sternosa(op): 12:25am On May 12, 2017
Hey house, I notice most times in social situations I tend to experience the following;
- Migranes
- Restlessness
- Vertigo (dizziness)
- Muscle tension/tightness
- Inability to communicate eloquently.
- Thirst

Please, is there a solution to this? I'm in dire need of a solution. Nairaland has solved countless problems for countless people and I'm hoping to get good suggestions here.

I understand you go thru all these! ... I did experience this before! ... Am saying before due to the fact that I realised that I never did develop the spirit of standing up in classes Nd asking questions from lecturers or public speakers

For you to be able to stand confidently in front of people ...you must be able to stand confidently in the middle of people ___ Before you lead ...you must follow!

What do I mean by this? ... If yuar the kind of person who finds it difficult to freely ask questions by raising yur hands n standing up in the middle of people ...you will definitely develop cold feet while presenting in the front of your fellow men!

Hv heard of the need to develop your confidence in front of the mirror but trust me ...yuar doing yurself no good if yu partake in such. All yu need do; is to engage in asking questions whether stupid or self explanatory questions ....just make sure you can confidently raise your hand up n speak in the crowd! ...dats the first step

By the time yu begin 2 ask n answer questions like dat! ...yu will develop dis sort of confidence gradually sprouting in your spine that you are not afraid of standing out in the crowd!

Coz that the most important thing people don't know! ... Take a look at this ...you hv a presentation ...yu made your researches ... Yu made sure yu rehearsed in your apartment before d due date

... N yu made quite a wonderful performance having marked yourself based on your facingTheMirrorPresentationPerformance ...after which yu were given the Mic in the hall or classroom n yu began to wumble,fumble n rumble your way through repeated sentences n shaky lines of points!

Later ...Yuar over there seating on the walkway wondering ao come yu went blank in yur presentation! ... The problem is nt your lack of knowledge but lack of Confidence of StandingOutsideYourComfortZone ...people who get affected by this are mostly
1) people who don't engage in asking n answering of questions in a class or group discussion

2) people who get easily influenced by what other people think n say about them!

3) n lastly people who don't dress properly well ... They often tend to get distracted by the fact that they are standing in front of the crowd with a brown patched black suit! ...or unzipped pants

Little tins like this gets you distracted ...when yuar distracted yu loose focus ...you loose focus ...you gain distraction! ...back n forth ...back n forth ...dats y yu kip repeating statements over and over again!

*** Pardon my typographical errors ...am not perfect but I will be! smiley
