I'm 23 years old and I'm afraid of being laughed at.

Generally speaking, there are several ways to alleviate social phobia:

1, divert attention. Don't focus too much on yourself, be brave enough to face your own shortcomings and shortcomings, and don't be bitter about the mistakes you made in the past. After all, no one is perfect, and everyone will have certain shortcomings and failures. At the same time, don't put too much pressure on yourself, don't imply that you must do something well, and you must not fail in doing something, because it will hurt your self-confidence.

2. Set small goals. Socialization can start with people around you, such as learning how to communicate with relatives, friends or colleagues around you. Try to extend the communication time and let yourself experience the happiness and achievements of communication. After experiencing the joy of communication, I will want to know more people and communicate more.

3. Go to a crowded place. A great feature of social phobia is fear of staying in crowded places and fear of people. Therefore, in order to overcome social phobia, people should learn to smile, try to give themselves a chance to speak and express in the crowd, and overcome the fear of communicating with others. Have confidence in yourself, be patient and tolerant of others, and learn to integrate into the group.

4. Don't demand perfection. No one is perfect, whether you are yourself or others, you should look at it objectively. When you have friends around you who want to make friends, you should be brave enough to express your thoughts of communicating with him. Don't be timid and feel inferior, because you are not perfect enough to make friends with others.

5. Attend more parties. Party is a kind of collective activity, which can meet more people and strengthen the communication between people. As long as you dare to go to the party, this is actually a huge breakthrough in social phobia.

6. Learn to listen. A good social worker should be a good listener first. Knowing how to listen will bring people a good impression and win more friendship.

In short, socialization can be said to be a survival skill in life, and people who know how to socialize tend to live a happier and more relaxed life. People who don't know how to socialize often feel lonely, which will lead to bad psychology such as world-weariness. Therefore, for patients with social phobia, we must master the above methods to alleviate it.

I hope my suggestion is helpful to you. I wish you a happy life and hope to adopt. Thank you!
