I have noted that a great number of our listeners deal with social anxiety of some sort. I know it’s a terrible thing to have to have to go through considering interacting with others is a natural part of life. Social anxiety gets in the way of many things you’d want… like friendships, jobs, romance and so much more.
I am making this thread so we can talk about it. I can’t say I experience social anxiety to the extent others have. But when I was younger, there were certain social situations where I got extremely anxious. I do remember the feeling of freezing up around certain people and getting physically uncomfortable…. Not knowing what to say and worrying about what I should say. And doubting myself incessantly in my head. All that stuff. I only experienced that for several situations in life but I deeply empathize with anyone that has to deal with that ALL the time. And I know it gets much deeper than just what I described.
So I had an idea… Not sure if it would work out or amount to anything but it’s something I’d like to share with you guys just in case some people would like to try it. As you know, I’m of the belief that you have to be proactive to change your life. Just listening to fields isn’t going to make you into the person you want to be. Especially when it comes to being social as it’s something you have to practice and get comfortable doing.
Just gaining confidence from listening to fields or even hypnosis tracks isn’t going to mean anything if you don’t try to talk to people. In fact, even if your energy is more confident, the moment you step up to people, a part of you is still going to be resistant… like the feeling you get before jumping into cold water.
So I had the idea that we could do a few video group chats where people get to open up and talk. Get out of their comfort zone and interact. It’s hard talking in a group but everybody can get their chance to speak and whatnot. I can facilitate and maybe a few other people who are comfortable can as well. I think doing this with people who you know aren’t going to judge you can help socially anxious people open up and explore that social side of them that is usually frozen in these kinds of situations. Real practice is essential.
I would say also Omegle video chat is an excellent way to practice. You just cold meet random people every few minutes and get to practice expressing yourself openly. Some of those conversations may go haywire rather quickly and sometimes you will get judged or… see a penis flash. But, you’ll talk to some cool people and just start getting a lot more comfortable in expressing yourself. It’s really good practice.
I know it’s not the same as talking in person but covid has really messed with a lot of people’s personal growth for that reason. It’s hard to get out there and meet people.
Part of the reason I thought of this is because I know some of you hear listen to some of our fields to gain confidence, better yourself in ways that you can feel more comfortable being yourself… and in the presence of others. I want you to take that positive energy that is changing you from withina ndt ake the next necessary steps to solidify these changes.
So I don’t know. It’s just a thought. I’d love for you all to chime in with your thoughts and ideas.
so yeah id be up to join sometimes, some days ill be super chatty other days just quiet observing but its just how i am.
