Most people experience some level of anxiety when it comes to exploring new relationships and situations. For some, this anxiety can be crippling. Suffering from Social Anxiety Disorder is often labeled as simple shyness. Unfortunately, the disorder is far more damaging then the average person might think. Often it causes one to not only distance one's self from new opportunities, but it can also lead to shutting out all personal interactions period -even with close family members and friends.
Here is a platform for those of us who fall victim to this condition, and those who put up with us. Let's discuss the signs and symptons as well as share our coping skills - or lack there of. The hardest step in trying to conquer any social phobia is admitting to anyone that you have them.
Is A Fast Phobia Cure Just Bunk?
Phobias are fears based on what we believe. Often we have simply adopted these fears from someone else, usually a parent or care giver when we were young. When children are taught that spiders are bad and they "pee in your eye" while you are sleeping we teach children to be afraid of the spider, even though most of these creatures are harmless.
The girl with the phobia was most likely told that dogs could be unpredictable and her wounds were treated with a great deal of panic or emotion. The second little girl was cared for, and a caring adult explained that almost all dogs would bite if they felt threatened. The adults in her life took the time to explain dog behavior, equipping her with knowledge to prevent another attack while developing respect for the animal.
One of the easiest ways to find a fast phobia cure is to simply change the belief system on which the phobia was built. Fear of fire because you know it can destroy quickly? Education about the causes and preventative measures associated with fires can help you believe that you are safe from fires.
Drunkenness is often up there on the top of the list. But if we believe that the water can get us, our fear will prevent us from ever finding ourselves in that situation, even if our fears are unfounded.
The biggest fear of all is the fear of death. This fast phobia cure is actually the easiest of them all. If you can stop being afraid of life you will stop being afraid of death. We only fear death when we feel that life has not been fully lived. Each fear we develop along the way is simply a belief coated in a blanket of the fears that others hold dear for us.
