What is the manifestation of social fear?

I am also a person with social anxiety and am afraid of getting too much attention in public. I remember one birthday one year, my friends and I had dinner in a restaurant. Suddenly, one of my friends took out the birthday cake prepared for me, lit the candles, and wished me a happy birthday loudly. As a result, the waiters in the restaurant saw it and gathered around. In the spirit of providing quality service, they were ready to sing happy birthday to me. Looking at the warm smiling faces of my friends and waiters, my heartbeat skyrocketed and my palms began to sweat. I couldn't refuse them, but I couldn't accept such a grand blessing calmly. This scene has always stayed in my mind because it was so horrific for social terror, like being publicly executed.

Most cases begin in adolescence, and women are significantly more common than men, especially those who are single, have low education, low social class, and are unemployed. The disease will affect social, educational, or career development. The disease can be divided into two subtypes, one is generalized social phobia, which is fear of most social situations, and the other is non-generalized phobia, which is only fear of certain situations. In addition, there are some independent or specific social phobia disorders that are difficult to classify due to the fear of speaking in public.

Sociophobia is a type of phobia, also known as social anxiety disorder, which refers to the persistent and intense fear and avoidance behavior of one or more interpersonal situations.

Most people feel nervous when speaking in front of people or facing leaders. This is a normal phenomenon. However, while people with social phobia feel nervous, they also have symptoms of rapid heartbeat and sweating, and they avoid other people's eyes and contact with people. Social phobia can also be manifested as the fear of making a fool of oneself in public, putting oneself in an embarrassing or embarrassing situation, and therefore fear of speaking or performing in public, fear of eating in public, fear of defecation in public toilets; or fear due to the presence of others My hands are shaking and I cannot write; I am afraid of vomiting in public places, etc.

I don’t know when, social phobia has become an excuse for many people to avoid social interactions. What exactly is social phobia?

Social phobia is mainly clinically manifested in the fear of being scrutinized by others. Once you find that others are paying attention to you, you feel unnatural and do not dare to look at others. You even feel ashamed and do not dare to speak in public places. Low self-esteem may even cause fear and depression. Seeing this, there must be many people who feel the same way and think that they also have such a disease to some extent. But what I want to say is, don’t deny yourself so decisively. Normal people will also have a certain degree of nervousness and anxiety about social activities. , it is possible that you just belong to another type.

This type is called a highly sensitive personality. What is a highly sensitive personality? To give a few examples, when you stay with a stranger and communicate for more than 20 minutes, you will feel that you have consumed a lot of energy and feel exhausted; Allow any shortcomings to be exposed in front of everyone; if I am not good, no one will like me... I believe many people have had similar feelings to the above.

Most of the highly sensitive people are introverts. As an introvert, you must have had the experience of being compared with other people's children in your childhood. Other people's children are cheerful, sweet-talking, and lovable, but yours is shy, reticent, and can't get on the stage. In fact, these are the states displayed by highly sensitive people in an insecure environment, but when the surrounding environment is harmonious and comfortable, they are more likely to feel happy, which is what some of us call "very happy in front of strangers" Be quiet, people go crazy in front of acquaintances."

If it’s not your circle, don’t be too rigid. Today's society is an era where strong people are highly respected. Many people feel that being called introverted or shy is a shameful thing. It will make them appear to be out of tune with society. Even if they are exhausted, they have to pretend to be gregarious. , strive to mingle with others. In fact, there is no need for you to live so hard. If you can integrate into a certain circle through hard work, then you will never know whether others like you or your hard work.

Don’t let what you think is social phobia ruin your life. Always seeing yourself as a flawed and wrong existence will hinder your own development. When you can face your abilities, you may find that you have unlimited potential.

I once took a class from an etiquette teacher whose child was in kindergarten. During the parent-teacher meeting, the child's head teacher told him, "Your child has a bad personality and is too introverted." At that time, he couldn't help but retorted, "Who the hell said that introversion means a bad personality? It's just a personality type. Why do you make a conclusion and deny it!" If the child is labeled so easily, it may be restrictive. children’s changes and growth.

Learn to accept the fact that you are a sensitive personality, and occasionally allow yourself to be a free and useless soul. Gradually you will find that you can also be happy in a fast-paced life and a numb environment. alive.

You have to believe that everything is the best arrangement. This character is the best gift God has given you.

You have a very rich inner world and you will not feel lonely or bored when you are alone. On the contrary, this will make you feel free.

The degree of fear of people with real social phobia will affect their normal social activities and even cause depression. I believe that most people who say they have social phobia have not lost their basic social skills and can still Integrate into a normal social atmosphere. So sometimes, if you lower your requirements for yourself appropriately, your anxiety will gradually decrease. Learn to accept that you are not a high-energy person, accept some naked facts, and have more confidence and self-esteem in yourself.
