If you suffer from social anxiety, or social phobia, you know the gut wrenching feeling inside whenever you attend a social event.

Whether it is a small gathering or a large function, those who suffer from social anxiety go through the same physical anguish.

Social Anxiety?  Just Say No!


Those suffering from social anxiety or social phobia must re-train their negative thoughts.  A simple way to do this is to just say “NO!” whenever negative thoughts arise.

Say anything to redirect your negative thoughts.  No!  Stop!  Knock it off!  Once you stop and redirect your negative thoughts, focus on positive pep talk.

Sometimes simple works, and if you are trying to overcome social anxiety, or social phobia, just saying No! is a good place to start.

I received a newsletter today in my inbox and it said Happy Memorial Day!  Is it really proper to say Happy Memorial Day?

I’ve said I hope you have a great Memorial Day.  What are your plans for Memorial Day, and so on, but I don’t ever recall saying Happy Memorial Day.

I apologize for straying off topic, but I had to post my two cents about Memorial Day.  Let’s honor those who served.  Read some Memorial Day facts here.

I stumbled onto a website that offers free telephone support for social anxiety, also known as social phobia.

Similar to Alcoholics Anonymous, this telephone support for social anxiety is a support group program.  It is completely free except for any long distance charges.

Social Anxiety Telephone Support | Seriously?

Think about this for a second, someone suffering from social anxiety more often than not also has telephonophobia as I mentioned here.  Telephonophobia is a fear of the telephone.

This telephone support group says you don’t have to say anything during these conference calls, but still, it is a telephone call.

The support group is also run by our peers who read from social anxiety books when there is a lull in the conversation.
