My Social Anxiety Support:
Instantly Reduce Your Anxiety
In 4 Ways

These 4 types of social anxiety support and advice will help you to cope with the different types of anxiety symptoms.

Dealing With Social Anxiety:
1. Reducing Physical Symptoms

There are some key ways to reduce the effects of anxiety on your body. Here are some of them, in a nutshell. For advice on how to correctly use these social anxiety support tips, click the above headline.

Correct your breathing pattern

The way you breath affects your body in so many ways. Get it wrong (which is natural, especially during panic) and your anxiety worsens...

However, if you improve your breathing technique, you'll find that anxiety attacks start to get better.

Exercise yourself daily

Using your body the way it was meant to be used will help you to undo many physical symptoms of anxiety.

Massage aching muscles

A decent massage on tight muscles really helps. This is a great way of handling social anxiety disorder 's physical symptoms.

Correct your posture

Poor posture causes restricted breathing and poor blood circulation. You need your breathing and circulation to be working properly, to combat anxiety attacks.

Sleep better

The less sleep you get, the more likely you are to suffer from anxiety. A freshly woken, recharged mind is much more peaceful than one that hasn't really relaxed yet after the previous day's anxiety.

Coping With Social Anxiety
2. How To Ease The
Psychological Symptoms

Anxiety is stressful for the brain. The social anxiety support linked in the headline above (2.) will help you to reduce that stress.

Once stress is reduced, you can enjoy the non-anxiety-stimulating parts of your life more. Here's some things you can do to relax your mind:

Practice sport

This provides not only enjoyment, but also a sense of escapism from the rest of your life. The mind drops (forgets) the stressful things going on.

That 'break' from the rest of your life is invaluable for a more peaceful experience each day.

Watch TV, read books, play games etc

Do anything that involves doing something.

Don't sit doing nothing because that gives you time for anxious thinking. Such internal judgement and analysis is useless - you cannot get anything from it. 

Do anything that takes your mind outside of your own head. 

Meditate

If you've got the patience, this is some of the most helpful social anxiety disorder support I can think of.

Meditation is your mind's version of a damn good scrub clean in the shower. It cleanses the mind, stripping it of all the unwanted thoughts that run around.

Listen to Binaural Beats

Binaural Beats are sound frequencies delivered to each ear through your headphones. They chill you right out due to the consistency variations of the frequencies. 

It sounds like scientific bullshit, and I was sceptical, but I found them to work well - especially at night when I couldn't sleep.

Essentially, when you feel overwhelmed, anxious or aggressive, Binaurals calm you right down so that your day can be more pleasant. This is good support for social anxiety sufferers.

Consume 'non-anxious' food/drink

Many foods and drinks make you more likely to become anxious. The last thing you want is more stress than necessary, so avoid anxiety-related foods and drinks.

3. Tips To Weaken Emotional Effects

The most vital thing in life is how we feel. Thus, emotional social anxiety support is the most important.

The article linked above (3.) will help you to reduce the effects of sadness, depression, shame, disappointment and more.

The below bulletpoints show the type of social anxiety support you can get from that article:

Coping when you think you've 'F'd' up a conversation

When you feel socially anxious, it's really easy to think you've 'said the wrong thing' or embarrassed yourself in some way. 

My tips (3.) will help you develop an attitude that can stop you feeling like you've screwed things up. 

Handling getting bullied

Bullying is very common in western parts of the world. You can't overcome social anxiety disorder if you're being bullied. 

Help with bullying has to come before social anxiety support. My article will explain this and show you some ways to put a stop to bullying. 

Reducing loneliness

Loneliness is common in people with problematic social anxiety. The why is obvious; people make them feel anxious, so to steer clear of the anxiety, they avoid people. 

There's only one simple, but hard to accept, solution to this, as detailed in that above linked article (3.)

Reducing the effects of comparison to others

The competitiveness that is present in today's society leaves a lot of people comparing themselves to others - and many feel disappointed at their 'assessment'. 

There's a better attitude you can take to this. I'll show you it in my free help for social anxiety linked above.

Overcoming depression

Depression hits many anxious people. The way the anxiety restricts one's life, is the cause of it. I've experienced it and come out the other side. I've also written social phobia support tips on how to go about escaping depression yourself.

4. Tips For Behaving More Relaxed

If you behave as if you're relaxed, even though you're anxious, people will relax more around you - since they think you're relaxed.
