Social anxiety vs.
introversion Firstly, overcoming social anxiety means overcoming introversion.
You may not be introverted all the time but chances are you are a very intelligent person who is thinking a lot - which is absolutely a good thing.
But thinking logically is using the logical parts of your brain, while social interaction is mostly using the emotional parts of your brain.
Your brain is like a muscle - the parts that you use a lot grow stronger and work better.
Training the emotional parts of your brain improves your social very quick and more than you might think.
So let's go and figure out how to get over social anxiety.
Train yourself for confidence Training the emotional parts of your brain will help you to get over social anxiety faster than you think.
Firstly, you have to make sure you use the emotional, fun-loving part of your brain on a consistent basis.
Every day, joke around with someone, try to talk spontaneously to people you know well.
This will enable you to "snap" into social mode more quickly.
If you have done work which involves logical thinking and a lot of concentration, give yourself some time to "switch to social mode".
Try watching some comedy or phone up someone you know well and talk to that person for some time.
This will help you to ease out of your logical state gradually.
The more time you spend in that emotional state, the more effortless it will get and after some time, switching over to social interactions will be easy and feel natural.
And the more natural you feel in social situations, the more confidence you will have.
