Expose My What To Cure Social Anxiety?

Exposure.  Probably the most feared word for someone with social anxiety, yet this is exactly what you need to do to overcome your fears.  Social anxiety is the fear of social situations.  So in order to cure your social anxiety, you need to expose yourself to social situations.  Pretty scary thought, eh?

Exposing yourself to social situations is so scary, that the mere thought can cause an anxiety attack, or a panic attack.  It is very hard to push yourself to do things that are scary.  Yet the rewards of pushing yourself and curing your social anxiety are pretty awesome.

So how do you go about this?  Expose yourself to social situations or fearful situations very slowly, by taking baby steps.  If you have a severe case of social anxiety start small with going out to the mailbox and back.  If that is too much, just step out on your porch and count to 10 or 20.  Drive to the store and sit in your car in the parking lot, and drive back home.

Start small, but do a lot to keep the momentum going.  Do something every day if possible.  The more exposure you practice, the faster you will be to cure your social anxiety.  Good Luck!
