The need to be perfect in front of workplace peers can contribute to social anxiety. When someone strives for perfection in social situations, they often fear being judged or criticized by others. This fear of negative evaluation can lead to heightened anxiety, as they worry about making even minor mistakes or not meeting the unrealistic standards they've set for themselves.

Perfectionism can also lead to a strong focus on performance. People may feel that they must excel in every aspect of social interaction, whether it's making a flawless presentation, having perfect conversations, or always appearing composed. This performance pressure can cause anxiety about measuring up to these self-imposed expectations.

Episode 152 traces the correlation between the desire to be meticulous and the anxiety it can create.

Social confidence plays a significant role in how you interact and navigate social situations. While it's important to feel secure and confident, it's equally important not to come across as overly insecure. That’s because confidence often attracts people, and if you appear overly insecure, it can be challenging to form and maintain meaningful relationships, whether they’re personal or professional.

Social insecurity can hinder effective communication. If you doubt yourself too much, it can lead to hesitancy and difficulty expressing your thoughts and feelings clearly.

Social confidence is not about pretending to be someone you're not but rather being the best version of yourself. Everyone has moments of insecurity, but the goal is to manage these moments so that they don't dominate your interactions and relationships.

The concept of mastery in interpersonal skills or in your field typically involves several stages of development and growth. While the specific stages may vary depending on the skill or domain, one generally begins the journey as a novice and climbs through the stages of mastery.

The journey to mastery is not always linear, and you may move back and forth between these stages as you continue to learn and grow. Additionally, the time it takes to reach each stage can vary widely depending on the complexity of the skill or field, individual aptitude, and the amount of deliberate practice and effort put into the pursuit of mastery.

It’s natural to care about what people think to some extent, but it should not dominate your life or dictate your choices. Developing a strong sense of self-worth and focusing on your own values and goals can help you reduce the impact of others' opinions on your well-being. This is the path to building social capital and getting to a level of interpersonal mastery.

Social reluctance can stem from a variety of sources, and it often varies from person to person. Some common factors that contribute to social reluctance include social anxiety, introversion, under-developed communication skills, and past negative experiences, to name a few.

Social reluctance is complex, with numerous  underlying causes, and it can be experienced to varying degrees. In episode 147 of the podcast, I share three different approaches to manage reluctance and hesitance so you can experience the joy and bliss of social confidence.

The relationship between perfectionism and procrastination is complex.  One reason why people procrastinate is perfectionism. For example, socially reluctant perfectionists might be so critical of themselves for making perceived mistakes in the presence of others that they will decline to contribute to conversations to avoid dealing with the associated negative emotions. Similarly, procrastinating salespeople might be so worried about their offer being declined, that they will delay contacting potential customers.

Episode 146 of the Social Skills Mastery podcast takes a look at the paradox and relationship between these seemingly dissimilar character traits and helps you identify how to break free from where you may find yourself on the continuum.

Here’s a test for your self-confidence. When you enter a room, can you manage to entertain the thought " I know that everyone here can’t wait to meet me. I just don't expect them to realize it yet." You may not be at all certain that everyone in every room loves you, but you’ll find that pretending they do works nicely when you want to make someone's day. Rather than spending so much time wandering about armored against criticism and rejection, become aware that everyone around you may be wary of you. This emotional arms race drives people apart in every home, office, subway car, dentist's office, and corporate cafeteria on earth.

But pretending other people need you flips the vicious cycle into a virtuous one. Imagine how you'd enter a conference room if you knew without a doubt that everyone in it adored you. How would you move? How would you look at people? What would you say? 

When you practice these empowering thoughts daily you become socially intelligent and better able to handle everything that comes your way.
