How to overcome social anxiety

Social anxiety is very common among teens and young adults. The term social anxiety is when a person simply feels nervous, scared, anxious, or extremely nauseas whenever they are talking to strangers or people whom are good looking.

These are a couple of tips I have learned over the past few years about overcoming such a problem. I had such troubles with social anxiety, that I used to sweat incessantly and shake every single second when talking to other people.

1) Imagine your embarrassments happening to them

Let's say that you are simply nervous because you may fall down or make a fool out of yourself in front of other people. Imagine if that hot girl or that good looking does exactly what you are trying to avoid, and imagine how they would deal with it. Chances are, they won't feel too embarrassed. So neither should you.

2) Talk

Try to talk to other people little by little. If you can ,strangers are great to talk to. You should know that you are never going to get better and feel more relaxed next to other people when you don't talk to other people.

3) Family and friends

Try talking to cousins, uncles, and aunts whenever you can during parties. Parties are great because you can always talk about how you guys all know each other. Remember, family and friends are vital to look out for because you can learn how to talk to other people and develop your speaking skills.
