...See more Understanding Social Anxiety: My Experience I want to share something very personal with you, as I believe it’s important to understand how social anxiety can impact everyday life. I have always been an introvert, but over time, the feeling of anxiety in social situations became almost unbearable. Imagine this: you walk into a room full of people, and suddenly you feel your heart racing, your palms sweating, and every sound around you becomes overwhelming. I often felt like everyone was watching my every move, every glance. Even though that wasn't true, the feeling was very real and very powerful. Sometimes, I shut myself off, avoiding gatherings and outings because it was easier to be alone than to fight that uncertainty. What I want to say is that many of us go through similar experiences. We often feel isolated and misunderstood, but it’s important to know that it’s okay to feel this way. Every time I tried to open up and talk about my feelings, I felt like a heavy weight was lifting off my shoulders. Together, we can create a space where we feel safe to share our experiences. This is the first step toward overcoming anxiety. Even when it seems like there’s no way out, there’s always hope. This process can be long, but every step, no matter how small, is significant. 🌈 Sometimes, when I feel overwhelmed, I try breathing techniques or simply talk to someone I trust. Together, as a community, we can support each other, share advice and feelings, and move forward together. It’s not easy, but it’s not impossible. 🤝💕 It’s important for us to lean on one another, to open up, and to talk. Our journey toward understanding and overcoming social anxiety may be challenging, but it’s worth fighting for. Let’s be there for each other and make this world a little less intimidating together. 🌍💖

Pozdrav svima😊, nadam se da ste dobro, želim s vama podijeliti misao koja se odnosi na anksioznost kao i na druge oblike mentalnog zdravlja "Zapamti, ne postoji ništa na ovom svijetu što te može povrijediti onoliko koliko mogu tvoje misli, niti postoji ništa na ovom svijetu što te može izliječiti onoliko koliko mogu tvoje misli." ovo me navelo na razmišljanje o raznim aspektima života, volio bih čuti i vaše mišljenje o ovome.

...See more Hello everyone! I want to share a few thoughts with you about social anxiety because I know how challenging and debilitating it can be. Perhaps you have already recognized yourself in this or know someone who is facing it, it is important to know that you are not alone. I hope these tips help you or at least make it a little easier. Understanding Social Anxiety: You Are Not Alone Social anxiety can be challenging in so many ways. I know how difficult it can be when you find yourself in a situation where you need to talk to others or even just spend time in society, and you feel pressure, discomfort and worry that you will be misunderstood or judged. I would like to share some thoughts and tips that may help in dealing with this type of anxiety. 1. Admit your feelings: It's normal to feel uncomfortable or scared in social situations, and there's no shame in admitting to yourself that you feel that way. By acknowledging your feelings, you have already taken the first step towards understanding and reducing anxiety. 2. Breathe and be present in the moment: When anxiety becomes overwhelming, it often helps to focus on breathing. Take a few deep breaths and try to focus on what you are doing right now. This technique can help calm physical symptoms and restore a sense of control. 3. Accept that others may not notice your nervousness: Social anxiety often creates the feeling that everyone is watching and judging you. However, the reality is that people are often self-centered. Nobody is perfect and most people will not notice or criticize the little insecurities you may see. 4. Step by step: Exposure to social situations, starting with small steps, can help. You can start with simple, shorter interactions, such as saying hello to an acquaintance, and then work on longer and more complex conversations. 5. Ask for support: Social anxiety can be eased with community support. Sharing your feelings with people who understand what you're going through can help you feel less alone. The community here is here to support, you're not alone! I hope these little guidelines help someone. Remember, working on social anxiety is a process, but every small step forward is important. We're here together, and we're all working to feel a little better every day. If you ever want to talk about it, feel free to contact me, I'm here for you.😊
