Friends around me are more sociable than themselves. What should I do if I feel anxious?

1, eliminate negative thoughts. People with social anxiety disorder are too nervous when interacting with others, which is caused by negative thoughts. Patients generally have the following thoughts: others will laugh at me and must think I am stupid. Find the negative thoughts in your heart and then eliminate them through positive self-suggestion.

2. Pay attention to others. In the social environment, some friends will have symptoms of social anxiety, which are caused by paying too much attention to themselves, worrying about their inappropriate clothes, worrying about their poor performance and so on. It's easy to feel anxious by focusing on yourself. So we should change our focus from the inside out and pay attention to others. Eliminate excessive self-concern and patients will be less nervous.

3. Learn to control your breathing. When people feel anxious, their breathing will become rapid, which will destroy the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body, leading to more anxiety of patients. Therefore, patients with social anxiety disorder should learn to control their breathing, and deep breathing can control their anxiety.

4, more contact with people. Social anxiety patients tend to avoid socializing and often stay at home alone, which will lead to more serious symptoms. They should open their hearts and go out, take part in more social activities and socialize with people, so that the symptoms can be alleviated.

5. Take medicine. If the symptoms are particularly serious or even syncope, you need to take anti-anxiety drugs under the guidance of a doctor.

After the symptoms of social anxiety appear, you should find out the reasons that make you feel anxious and do more positive self-suggestion. And pay more attention to others in social situations, not yourself. If you have shortness of breath, blushing, rapid heartbeat, sweating and other symptoms. In the process of interacting with people, you can relax and relieve anxiety by taking a deep breath.
