overcome.

I had to do this recently with my psychologist, it's real daunting but can help also. It helped me slightly, but it was only a minor situation in comparison to what I'm going to have to face soon I guess. This was for a phobia that's panic attack related.

I have forced myself to go to places where it's full of people because it has helped slowly it's getting easier lately but just take your time to deal with exposure therapy.

Societies problem is the fact that nobody actually fits into there standards.

EXPOSURE THERAPY...hmmm i know someone who was afraid of girls...the ones he liked anyways and he had to say hello or good morning to start with this one girl he thought was pretty and he kinda knew her alittle too just never really spoke to her unless she initiated, then he hda to do it everyday instead of hiding from her or saying nothing to her at all.

HE then graduated to asking a question ''how ya doing?" or saying something else to her when he walked by her, anything..small talk to the girl..unfortunately he took 3 steps forward and then 2 steps back, he couldn't get passed the ''good morning'' or ''how ya doing?'; and just kept being around her but not talking to her and then eventually avoided all together..he gave up!!!!The anxiety was too much for him i guess.

Then he tried it with another girl as well..not attracted to her but a girl none the less but she was not very receptive and i don't think he cared about her at all..he should have stuck with the first one i told him HE LIKED HER AND SHE REALLY SEEMED TO LIKE HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats what i know about Exposure Therapy.
