Hey guys, I thought it would be interesting and helpful if we pulled our life experiences together, and made a list of things that have helped fight or lessened effects of Social Anxiety, whether that be even the slightest breakthrough.
- Taking up a public speaking course. I took up this course out of my desperation of wanting to finally coming out of my shell. It let me get used to a group of people listening to my voice, and the attention to be focused on me. The other students gave the time to listen to me, of which I was not used to. It also gives me feedback on how to communicate better.
- Befriending someone with a mental disability. I have a disabled friend, and he never ever judges the way I communicate, my image, he would never ignore or interrupt me like the rudeness of others. He enables me to practice speaking and ramble on about rubbish, and he lets me be myself.
