Ep 39. Overcoming Social Anxiety


Listen Later

Just because we feel anxious in social situations does not necessarily mean that we suffer from social anxiety disorder. These anxieties are quite natural and are usually centred around the fear that the people around us will evaluate us in an unfavourable way. We don’t want our job interviewer to think we are incompetent just as we would not want people at a party to think we are awkward. But what crosses the line from normal socially anxious symptoms to problematic disorder? 

Join Big Bros, Jeremy and Ilan, as they share what they believe are some reasons we can develop socially anxious tendencies. Expect to learn why having insecure attachment can be a predictor of social anxiety, why avoiding social situations only prolongs our anxiety and how developing one's self-esteem may be the antidote to social anxiety. 

We hope you enjoy!
