How to Overcome Social Anxiety as an Outgoing Introvert
Sometimes, an outgoing introvert will have anxiety when friends call them randomly or
try to plan a last-minute visit to their house.
In fact, it might happen to all introverts.
Their initial instinct is to avoid them or lie and say, "I'm too busy to talk, too
busy to hang out."
As an outgoing introvert, they enjoy being around people, and laughing with friends is
one of their favorite things to do.
But they like to have time to prepare for the stress of socializing.
It feels that they need to socialize on their own terms, during times when they are emotionally
available.
They hate personal space invasion.
In this video, I'm going to share with you 5 tips to overcome social anxiety as an outgoing
introvert.

1.
Don't Be Too Obsessed With Your Social Anxiety.
Whether you're professionally or self-diagnosed, knowing and accepting that you're suffering
from the social anxiety disorder is the first step to getting it under control and beating
it eventually.
It is natural that you will actively seek information and real-life examples of how
others overcame their social anxiety.
Going into panic mode and being too obsessive with your social anxiety can lead to a secondary
anxiety where you develop abnormal fears and worries
of your social anxiety disorder itself.
It will only make things worse.
Obsessing when you realize that you can't speak to strangers without blushing even after
a week of trying doesn't mean you're not getting any better.
The fact that you even tried is a great achievement itself.
2.
Be Determined And Patient.
Winning the war against your social anxiety is not a feat you can accomplish overnight,
in a month, or even in a year.
It involves accumulating small victories along the way as well as losing some of the battles.
It's important to set your expectation at the right level and having strong determination
that you're going to beat social anxiety once and for all.
I've seen people seeking out professional therapists, undergoing Cognitive Behavioral
Therapy (CBT), and using meditation, but soon give up claiming that these remedies
don't work.
One of the reasons is when you're having anxiety, you tend to rush for results.
You want to move from point A to point B too soon.
That urgency could be an obstacle to your progress.
3.
Set Specific Goals And Be Focused
Set realistic goals instead and tackle one issue at a time.
If your immediate concern is the inability to walk into a crowded room without freaking
out, then work on that first.
You may have other issues like public speaking, making phone calls and making eye contact.
Stay focused on one goal at a time and don't be all over the place.
Be specific on what you want to achieve and just work on that.
When I was running a small business while struggling with social anxiety,
I focused on overcoming my fear of making phone calls to strangers and left my phobia
of public speaking for later.
I went from stuttering and breaking into cold sweats to being able to make regular phone
calls and having a nice conversation.
And guess what, it took at least 6 months to be able to do that.
4.
Gradual Exposure
You can make all the mental preparations without physical action, but without action you'll
never break out of the anxiety or change.
To beat social anxiety for good, you need to start somewhere.
In my case of making phone calls, I forced myself to dial and greet whoever was on the
other end politely and with confidence.
It's nerve-wracking but I survived.
The longer you delay that first moment of taking action, the more your mind is going
to play nasty tricks on you.
The only way to stop all those self-doubts that are going to undermine your progress
is to push yourself to take the first step.
And when you take that first plunge, you'll find that it's not as scary as you imagined.
5.
Work on your beliefs and mindset.
We get offended when people say that anxiety is all in our head.
Well, in a sense, it is.
Whether it's due to hormone imbalance or traumatic social experiences,
I believe our mind has formed this thought behavior that strips our confidence apart.
This causes us to react negatively in social situations.
It makes complete sense that to beat social anxiety for good, you have to start in your
mind.
Neuroplasticity is a term that describes how our neuron paths change when we behave in
a certain manner for a period of time.
When I discovered my issue with social anxiety, I turned to mindful meditation and hypnosis
to learn new thought habits.
This allowed my brain to create new neural pathways and beat social anxiety once and
for all.
All in all, that's some things you can practice to overcome social anxiety as an outgoing
introvert.
