Does Social Anxiety Hold You Back?
In the "Anxiety Disorders" section of the manual entitled
"Diagnostic Criteria from DSM IV," which is used for the
diagnosis of mental health conditions, there are 12 anxiety
diagnoses covered.
The fifth, and what may appear to be a soft diagnosis, is Social
Phobia (Social Anxiety Disorder). In contrast to "Posttraumatic
Stress Disorder," "Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder" and "Panic
Disorder" this diagnosis may seem to be lighter than the rest.
Please don't be fooled by names or the sound of names or even
the fact that many of the others have achieved more press time.
Social phobia is a very real threat to the quality of life for
many individuals.
What is Social Anxiety Disorder? Glad you asked. Following is a
list of life areas impacted by social anxiety --
1. Meeting new people 2. Answering the door 3. Interacting with
merchant clerks at banks, grocery stores etc. 3. Setting
appointments with doctor's offices etc. 4. Attending church 5.
Buying or returning items at retail outlets 6. Sick days where
your anxiety has made you sick 7. Driving (fear other drivers
looking at or thinking of you) 8. Paying at the gas station 9.
Eating in front of other people 10. Signing your name in front
of others 11. Attending or hosting social events 12. Dating 13.
Talking in a small or large group 14. Expressing your opinion
15. Performance situations, such as playing on an athletic team,
singing in a choir etc. 16. May or may not have panic attacks
17. Fear of what others are thinking of you 18. Fear of being
embarrassed or humiliated
Next is a general physical symptom list of the physical signs of
social anxiety --
1. Blushing 2. Sweating 3. Dizziness 4. Heart palpitations 5.
Muscle tension 6. Dry mouth 7. Shaking 8. Nausea 9. Diarrhea 10.
Headache
These are a few of the symptoms of social anxiety as experienced
in life areas and physically. Many folks have social anxiety but
do not realize that this is what they struggle with. Oftentimes
thinking about or engaging in any of the activities listed above
will induce anxiety.
The real danger with this disorder is that it can subtly grow
into a monster. Left unattended, social anxiety can reshape the
life that you should be living into one that is centered around
avoidance of anxiety. Some of you are aware that you have
anxiety and fight with it constantly. Many others are not aware
of anxiety as the culprit, even though it's impacting all these
life areas. That's powerful!

Ongoing social anxiety can result in developing a pattern of
avoidance, whereby you begin putting off many of life's
activities. Too often, you have only the best of excuses, but if
you suffer from social anxiety, it's really anxiety driving your
life's bus.
There are many keys in the overcoming of anxiety. At the top is
bolstering your self-confidence. Ironically enough, the more
withdrawn you become while feeing anxious and avoiding
activities, the stronger the social anxiety becomes.
A FEW KEY AREAS TO TARGET IN OVERCOMING SOCIAL ANXIETY:
1. Participate in activities which increase esteem and a sense
of personal safety
2. Establish an area of expertise or mastery and allowing those
abilities to be present in anxiety situations
3. Learn relaxation strategies that become serenity-hygiene
habits
4. Challenge irrational thought patterns that support the anxiety
5. Keep an anxiety scale journal to chart goals and progress
6. Seek a caring individual to hold you accountable to your goals
7. Know that peace and anxiety cannot exist at the same time.
Any ritual which brings peace into your life is a great tool to
use to eliminate anxiety
8. Practice knowing that you are loved and have a right to live
a joy-filled life!
This is your life! If you find yourself angry over being
anxious, that's GOOD -- but only if you direct your anger at
anxiety and allow it to become an energizer in your efforts to
reclaim your life.
