Question
What did you learn about social anxiety? How can someone beat his phobia? Tell your partner.
Answer
I learnt that people with social anxiety feel that people are looking at them and judging them and that it can cause anxiety and panic attacks. One way to overcome this phobia is to imagine that you are at a social event and you feel happy and relaxed. Then, when you get there you will feel like that and forget your anxiety. You can also focus on other people and not on your feelings. If you stop avoiding social situations, little by little you'll get used to being with people.
