How I overcame my social anxiety and started to feel again!
https://ift.tt/mUYz6vrAround 4 years ago I was a wreck whenever I talked to people. I was overthinking every single word that I said in the conversation, and no matter how the conversation went I always felt super awkward afterwards. Sometimes I would rumor for hours and days about the awkward things that I said during the talk. Especially when it came to talking with woman I had a very hard time. Either I couldn’t bring my self to talk to them in the first place or I felt so uncomfortable while I was talking to them. I was so super self aware, stumbled over my words, I started to sweat and wanted to avoid this awkward silence at all costs. Weird and very painful time in my life I have to say. I remember those nights where I was sitting in my dark room, feeling cut off from the world and like the loneliest human being ever. I think I was just very afraid of being rejected from other people because I was bullied in school and a part of me wanted to avoid the same pain at all costs. Because I was not speaking to many people, I felt like my social skills where not existent, that let to me having little to no self esteem which let to me talking to even fewer people than I already did. A downward spiral of social exclusion.
Around 1,5 years ago I decided that somethings needs to change in my life and among a few other things that I did, I made the decision to join a personal development coaching program. I learned so much in that one but one thing really helped me to break this circle of social anxiety: FEEL YOUR EMOTIONS. The thing about anxiety is, that we are often not afraid of the situation itself, but we are afraid of being afraid in the situation. So basically we are afraid of feeling an emotion. When I realized that I practiced to feel everything that comes up in every moment. No matter if it’s anxiety, hate, nervousness, anger, grief, I felt it all. The more I did that, the more I was able to step out of my little shell and truly connect to people again. It’s been quite a journey for me and feeling through all of the things that I used to push down was certainly not easy but it paid off.
