Social Anxiety | Make Decisions!

Those suffering from social anxiety generally have a tough time making decisions.  Social anxiety or social phobia is an intense fear of social situations. 

People suffering from social anxiety have an extreme fear of being judged by others, thus making decisions can be very hard.

Do you wear the black pants or the blue ones?  Do you wear stripes or polka dots?  How can you decide when negative thoughts keep racing through your head “telling” you why you shouldn’t wear either?

Make Decisions!

Whether you suffer from social anxiety or you just find making decisions difficult, it is time to stop, make a decision and move on.

If it’s a simple decision like which color pants to wear, pick the ones you want to wear.  Pick the ones you feel comfortable in and say to heck with everyone.

If you choose to wear black pants to visit your sister with 10 white cats make a mental note to bring a hair removal brush next time.  Don’t tell yourself it was stupid to wear the black pants.

I hope I am making sense.  Making decisions can be very frustrating, so stop second guessing yourself, stop saying your decision was stupid, and stop caring what other people think.
