Social Anxiety Advice

Dealing with social anxiety can be very frustrating for most people, you dont want to go out for fear of meeting people, you avoid going to parties because you dont know what to say, you avoid meeting women because you get anxious and start shaking those are just some of the situation that a person with social phobia has to deal with every day.

It can be a real pain, when i was a kid i thought that i was just very shy, then as i grew up and became an adolescent i still thought that i was just very shy and avoided many things, like going to parties, meeting women and new friends. I stopped going out with my friends because they now were meeting women and i had too much fear and anxiety of talking to any women.

So, when i realized that i had social anxiety i started to push my self forward a little bit more. I went to high school on a foreign country and had a lot of fun with my friends but my fear with women was very high.

I didnt know that social anxiety was a disorder that can be improved with treatments and medication. So i took the difficult road, i had to push my self forward to social situations even when i was very anxious and by doing it this way i improved a lot, but there was a missing piece.

Since i didnt have many social interactions in my adolescence i lacked of social skills especially with women, so read a few books on self improvement, communication, dating persuasion and even physical confidence and that gave me more confidence to go out and have a successful conversation.
